The Cul-de-Sac of Cul-Ed-Sac is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Eds with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.546 billion Cullies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Peach Creek. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cul-Ed-Sackian economy, worth a remarkable 2,171 trillion quarters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,050 quarters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, The Eds claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, and parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cul-Ed-Sac's national animal is the monster chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult De Sac.

Cul-Ed-Sac is ranked 25,546th in the world and 582nd in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,612.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
