The Kingdom of Republic of edward is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by king edward 1st with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical population of 26.12 billion Republic of edwardians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of carpathia. The average income tax rate is 84.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of edwardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,768 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,006 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has been declared a nuclear-free zone, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of edward's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is neo-athiest.

Republic of edward is ranked 8,836^th in the world and 565^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
