The Colony of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Tony Repetto with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 23.411 billion Edinburgh of the Seven Seasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Queen Mary's Peak. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Edinburgh of the Seven Seasian economy, worth 869 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,121 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edinburgh of the Seven Seas's national animal is the Northern Rockhopper Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is ranked 139,417^th in the world and 8^th in Asela for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.39 kickbacks per hour.
