The Second Republic of Tretrid is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Robert Evans with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.322 billion Tretridians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tretridia. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tretridian economy, worth 963 trillion Karubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,728 Karubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and faithful allies are always valued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tretrid's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tretrid is ranked 88,300^th in the world and 3,326^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,338.86 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
