The Kingdom of Edlibor is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King Landon Vonvidil XXI with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.148 billion Edlibors 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caliton. The average income tax rate is 71.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Edlibor economy, worth a remarkable 2,567 trillion Rodins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 127,443 Rodins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Information Technology facilities are being turned into Cursuler Hawk habitats, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, glamping Edlibors won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and the nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edlibor's national animal is the Cursuler Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Edlibor is ranked 51,923rd in the world and 22nd in Aceon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 53,964.58 Standard Monetary Units.
