The Universal Republic of Edgelandia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Ned Edgewalker with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.165 billion Edgelandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westbrook. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Edgelandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,460 trillion Edgebucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 210,730 Edgebucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racial supremacists have a burning desire to deal with immigrants, board shorts have replaced board rooms, skateparks can be found in every city, and both criminals and civilians are DOA. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edgelandia's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State-Mandated Atheism.

Edgelandia is ranked 72,260th in the world and 2nd in The Meme Must Go On for Most Stationary, with 653.80203295532 days.
