The Republic of Edensland is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning swan population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 110 million Edenslandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The strong Edenslandian economy, worth 5.93 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 53,940 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

The gravy train is chugging along on a new track, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, and foreign despots proudly bandstand on Edenslandian airwaves. Crime is moderate. Edensland's national animal is the swan.

Edensland is ranked 303,979^th in the world and 133^rd in Cumberperry for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
