The Empire of Great Edmundia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Edward I with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.992 billion Edmundians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gladesopolis. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edmundian economy, worth a remarkable 2,446 trillion Great Edmundian Royals a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,302 Great Edmundian Royals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, parents dread their examinations more than their children, there's nothing special about King Edward I, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Edmundia's national animal is the Sable Ferret, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Edmundia.

Great Edmundia is ranked 3,923^rd in the world and 1^st in Edmundian Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 122.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
