The Tripedal Species of Planet Edos is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Arex with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.881 billion Edosians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Triangulum. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Edosian economy, worth 715 trillion Orchids a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,432 Orchids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas", mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planet Edos's national animal is the Suckerfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Planet Edos is ranked 17,672nd in the world and 3rd in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Smartest Citizens, with 68.17 quips per hour.
