The Democratic Republic of Tricklandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Renée Nicole with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.929 billion Tricklandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hipvil. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tricklandian economy, worth 274 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,371 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tricklandia's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tricklandia is ranked 3,779^th in the world and 8^th in The Western Isles for Nicest Citizens, with 54.78 average smiles per day.
