The Cyberstate of Edush is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sab with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.519 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, 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 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edushian economy, worth 282 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 112,210 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, a government program is underway to revitalize Edush's beaches, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. 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 283,202nd in the world and 1st in Limpenia for Most Patriotic, with 0.44 flags saluted per person per day.
