The Regime of Edwing is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Executor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.311 billion Edwingians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eahtol. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edwingian economy, worth 749 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,937 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

People are arrested for looking too sternly at whales, it's always rabbit season, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edwing's national animal is the manul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Edwing is ranked 28,504^th in the world and 30^th in Fifth Empire for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,860.83 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
