The Republic of Trehouart is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The devout population of 25.473 billion Trehouartians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.5%.

The powerhouse Trehouartian economy, worth a remarkable 1,523 trillion gold coins a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,825 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trehouart's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Trehouart is ranked 128,770^th in the world and 1^st in Le Havre for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 857.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
