The Dominion of Edge Hill is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Benthic Father with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.59 billion Hillerites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Innsmouth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hillerite economy, worth a remarkable 3,781 trillion Tithes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 440,245 Tithes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,757,716 per year while the poor average 29,787, a ratio of 92.6 to 1.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, Supreme Benthic Father accepted United Federation theatrical awards for Best Writer and Best Actress on behalf of the absent recipients, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edge Hill's national animal is the Cephalopod, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Esoteric Order of Dagon.

Edge Hill is ranked 330,365th in the world and 8th in The Community for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -14.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
