The Nation Named from the Region of Edoca is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Edocan Government with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 1.484 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, socially-minded 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 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edocan economy, worth 174 trillion edocan coins 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 impressive 117,269 edocan coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government-sponsored autobiography 'A the Edocan Government For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of the Edocan Government's supporters, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Edocan mussels the biggest in Edoca, and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime is totally unknown. Edoca's national animal is the llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Edoca is ranked 15,124^th in the world and 7^th in Edoca for Most Cultured, scoring 97 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
