The Federation of Evdon is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.854 billion Evdonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Capital. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Evdonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion evunits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 144,751 evunits, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Evdon's border, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, the annual government yacht trip is sponsored by criminal syndicates, and senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evdon's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ismanity.

Evdon is ranked 278,726^th in the world and 3,931^st in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 56 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
