The Confederacy of Edgetown is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jeremy Jacobs with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.687 billion Edgetownians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EdgeCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Edgetownian economy, worth a remarkable 1,156 trillion Dennies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 203,414 Dennies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,659,564 per year while the poor average 5,397, a ratio of 307 to 1.
Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, and for just a few extra Dennies Edgetownians can get new driving records with their new cars. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edgetown's national animal is the Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Edgeism.
Edgetown is ranked 168,839th in the world and 123rd in Africa for Most Extreme, scoring 17.57 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
