The Holy Empire of Edgeia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 203 million Edgeians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.6%.

The strong Edgeian economy, worth 11.0 trillion Edgings a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,328 Edgings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edgeia's national animal is the Smoking badass looking animals, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Edgeia is ranked 251,639^th in the world and 6,017^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
