The Theocracy of The Abyssal Realm of Edom is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 463 million Edomites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Bozrah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.6%.

The powerhouse Edomite economy, worth 55.5 trillion Writhing Fleshes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 119,807 Writhing Fleshes, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

The Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United Hell Games, tourist operators promise visitors tours of live burning shipwrecks and plane crash sites, Mona Lola's famous mysterious smile is being altered to resemble Leader's enigmatic grin, and ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Edomite pirates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Abyssal Realm of Edom's national animal is the Camel Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Abyssal Realm of Edom is ranked 66,594th in the world and 51st in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
