The Naked Monks of Trappist is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by St Benedictus with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.6 billion Trappistians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochefort. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Trappistian economy, worth a remarkable 4,041 trillion trappists a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 127,908 trappists, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
The Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and paters with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trappist's national animal is the pater, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ordo Cisterciensis Strictioris Observant.
Trappist is ranked 28,566th in the world and 1,615th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
