The Federal Republic of Tri Lita is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 163 million Tri Litese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Tri Litese economy, worth 4.75 trillion blergs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,159 blergs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tri Lita's national animal is the Wild Floof, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tri Lita is ranked 141,467^th in the world and 6,544^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 13.27 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
