The Cyberstate of Edush is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sab with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.696 billion Edushians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sendependeco. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Edushian economy, worth 981 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 127,514 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has invited tenders from other nations to run the country's infrastructure, diplomats expel enough hot air to cause forest fires, all facts are created equal, and the temple hierarchy have found that endorsements are even more lucrative than indulgences. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edush's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Edush is ranked 320,043rd in the world and 1st in Limpenia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,120.7 Standard Monetary Units.
