The United Socialist States of Eden Novae is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 745 million Eden Novaeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unity. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Eden Novaean economy, worth 51.8 trillion digicredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,522 digicredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, the country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment, and EpiPen sales have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown. Eden Novae's national animal is the white griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eden Novae is ranked 156,883^rd in the world and 2,842^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,001.11 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
