The Infection of Edgemaster is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Haruhi Suzumiya with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.49 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, although Industry is also considered important, 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 30,619 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 816,726 Gils, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,679,726 per year while the poor average 40,904, a ratio of 138 to 1.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques, and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. 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 9^th in the world and 1^st in Capitalist Paradise for Most Avoided, scoring 3,412.07 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
