The Trinitarian Peak Alliance of Edinslate is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chairwoman Çelreir lu Friar with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.143 billion Edineans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Network IX. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edinslatean economy, worth 128 trillion Fankoris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,579 Fankoris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All you have to do is pray to get into Edinslate, terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edinslate's national animal is the Manticore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sanguinary Anbriarianism.

Edinslate is ranked 124,936^th in the world and 143^rd in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 70.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
