The United Kingdom of Edoardienne is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 341 million Edoardienneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rouvlones. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Edoardiennean economy, worth 24.1 trillion Ganceuillexes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,682 Ganceuillexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, Swans are considered a delicacy, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edoardienne's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Edoardienne is ranked 27,933^rd in the world and 45^th in Astoria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 77.58 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
