The Federation of Evdon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.081 billion Evdonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Capital. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Evdonian economy, worth 421 trillion evunits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,932 evunits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, politicians' financial records are locked up tighter than the nation's evunit reserves, stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, and diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evdon's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is ismanity.

Evdon is ranked 237,849^th in the world and 4,064^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
