The Constitutional Monarchy of Edgecroft is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.601 billion Edgecroftians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edgecroftian economy, worth 170 trillion cosmoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 106,072 cosmoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Edgecroftians wonder "if a tree falls in the woods with no credible witnesses, who wants to know?", the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edgecroft's national animal is the stag, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Edgecroft is ranked 2,949^th in the world and 7^th in Concord for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.81 percentage of bribes refused.
