The Rogue Nation of Edillia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Edward bear with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.09 billion Edillians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bongo bongo land. The average income tax rate is 15.4%.

The very strong Edillian economy, worth 183 trillion Flanges a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,647 Flanges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians put their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la la" when walking past lobbyists, calling out of the blue has become taboo, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edillia's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Edillia is ranked 254,525th in the world and 8,801st in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -166.23 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
