The Allied States of Trardersta is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning porpoise population. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.612 billion Trarderstans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The very strong Trarderstan economy, worth 199 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,203 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,634 per year while the poor average 14,006, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Trardersta's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Trardersta is ranked 129,657^th in the world and 19^th in The Azure Archipelago for Most Developed, scoring 57.5 on the Human Development Index.
