Trivia

 * Edwardia is the wealthiest and most liberal state in South America, after Chile.
 * As with both Argentina, the United States and Chile, Edwardia is home to various immigrant and diaspora groups from around the world.
 * The government is known for its transparency as it even allows ordinary civilians to watch meetings up close. Despite this, only few people have taken advantage of said transparency and assassinated government officials. The last known assassination was President Shaun Standen who was assassinated on January 31, 1997.
 * The most popular cartoon in Edwardia is Brody and Henri which debuted in 2011 and is still popular.
 * School bullying, whether physical, verbal or social, is forbidden. The penalty for 1st offense is an official warning, whereas the 2nd offense is to be met with a conference with a parent/guardian, the teachers concerned and the guidance counselor. The 3rd offense can result in dismissal.
 * It is forbidden to mention Adolf Hitler's name in Edwardia unless it is for educational purposes. Euphemisms like "Adolf", "the Austrian dictator" or "Mustache Man" are used instead by the youth, especially so-called "history memers" and players of real-time strategy video games.
 * Durham-style hot dog sandwiches consist of a mixed beef and pork wiener with onions, dill pickles and sundried tomatoes on a baguette. It is considered taboo to put mayonnaise or ketchup on such hot dogs, so mustard and Manhattan dressing are used instead.
