The Country of Egerdia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Hegel with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.189 billion Egerdians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holsord. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Egerdian economy, worth 685 trillion Egerdin Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 215,041 Egerdin Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, craps take up a lot of time, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Egerdia's national animal is the Golden Steppe Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Egerdia is ranked 171,709^th in the world and 218^th in Eurth for Largest Populations, with 3.19 billion capita.
