The Empire of Edresty is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Her Excellency Selenya Vale with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.274 billion Edrestyians 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capra. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edrestyian economy, worth 193 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,112 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, Edresty is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edresty's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Edresty is ranked 169,555^th in the world and 790^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 288.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
