The Republic of Edisonia is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.45 billion Edisonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Edisonian economy, worth a remarkable 9,029 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 385,066 dollars , but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,740,527 per year while the poor average 17,880, a ratio of 153 to 1.

Edisonian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, to 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, and caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edisonia's national animal is the chimp , which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Edisonia is ranked 197,734^th in the world and 10,645^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 496.96 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
