The Holy Empire of Edmulus is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Edmund with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.805 billion Edmulusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edmulustown. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Edmulusian economy, worth a remarkable 5,565 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 267,504 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

It's best not to ask what goes into Edmulustown Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, nobody thinks that the Godfather was bettered by Part 2, in its new More is More campaign the government advertises obese men and women posing coquettishly with baked goods to spare their blushes, and couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edmulus's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Edmusian.

Edmulus is ranked 309,174^th in the world and 4^th in The Empire of Tamriel for Most Cultured, scoring -30 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
