The Nation Named from the Region of Edoca is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Edocan Government with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.479 billion Edocans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad de Edoca. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edocan economy, worth 171 trillion edocan coins a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,831 edocan coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Most pop videos prominently feature the Edocan flag, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with the Edocan Government, police officers find government bureaucracy more terrifying than most serial killers, and schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them. Crime is totally unknown. Edoca's national animal is the llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Edoca is ranked 33,671^st in the world and 13^th in Edoca for Highest Poor Incomes, with 70,625.91 Standard Monetary Units.
