The Republic of Edmee is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Oriental Short Hair population. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 40 million Edmeenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Edmeean economy, worth 1.26 trillion Sols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,540 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

For just a few extra Sols Edmeenians can get new driving records with their new cars, Furniture Restoration facilities are being turned into Oriental Short Hair habitats, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime is totally unknown. Edmee's national animal is the Oriental Short Hair, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Edmee is ranked 283,614^th in the world and 2,113^th in the West Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,016.49 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
