The Federal Socialist Republic of Traico is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by General Secretary with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, lack of airports, and ban on automobiles. The devout population of 8.599 billion Traicoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Statu. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Traicoan economy, worth 630 trillion Republic Trellans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,294 Republic Trellans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Movie references are legally admissible in court, only criminals carry guns, patients often wonder which is more annoying: their excruciating pain or their doctor incessantly praying over it, and the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Traico's national animal is the beagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Liberation Theology.

Traico is ranked 38,776^th in the world and 409^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 42.91 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
