The Constitutional Monarchy of Eddybooland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Edward Sperring with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and flagrant waste-dumping. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.546 billion Eddyboolandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eddybooland City. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eddyboolandian economy, worth 350 trillion Eddyboolandian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 137,642 Eddyboolandian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eddybooland's national animal is the Flying Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestantism.
