The Desert Hellhole of Tremulistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Colonel Lance Degraff with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.149 billion Tremulistanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tremulehr. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Tremulistanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,445 trillion Nobs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 246,509 Nobs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Colonel Lance Degraff has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, several inches are being added to first class seating, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Tremulistan's national animal is the Bonobo Monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fundamentalism.

Tremulistan is ranked 742^nd in the world and 24^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 337.93 on the Hayek Index.
