The Colony of Eredlina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.864 billion Eredlinans 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 minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Industry also on the agenda, while Administration and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Eredlinan economy, worth 992 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 38,387 lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Eredlina's national animal is the binturong.

Eredlina is ranked 267,426^th in the world and 43^rd in Land for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
