The Infection of Edgemaster is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Haruhi Suzumiya with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 45.967 billion Burst Linkians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seireitei. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Burst Linkian economy, worth an astonishing 37,569 trillion Gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 817,303 Gils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,756,855 per year while the poor average 179,364, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

The alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings, the government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys, and stocks go up when the internet says so. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edgemaster's national animal is the Hollow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Haruhiism.

Edgemaster is ranked 332,637^th in the world and 81^st in Capitalist Paradise for Nicest Citizens, with 0.03 average smiles per day.
