The Infection of Edgemaster is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Haruhi Suzumiya with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 42.84 billion Burst Linkians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seireitei. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Burst Linkian economy, worth an astonishing 34,907 trillion Gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 814,840 Gils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,834,288 per year while the poor average 170,715, a ratio of 16.6 to 1.
Private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), injured workers are encouraged to 'stitch themselves up with their bootstraps', and students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edgemaster's national animal is the Hollow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Haruhiism.
Edgemaster is ranked 346,187th in the world and 127th in Capitalist Paradise for Highest Average Tax Rates, with -42.81 Effective Tax Rate.
