The Republic of Tresdin is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.931 billion Tresdinians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tresdinian economy, worth 623 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,790 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tresdin's national animal is the soldier, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tresdin is ranked 66,405^th in the world and 93^rd in Remembrance for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,156.82 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
