The Republic of Evdern Dur is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 5.162 billion Evdern Durians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Evdern Durian economy, worth 204 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,598 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evdern Dur's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Evdern Dur is ranked 95,661^st in the world and 131^st in The Middle Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,237.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
