The People's Republic of Treya-Talbo is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.192 billion Treya-Talboans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rum City. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Treya-Talboan economy, worth 39.5 trillion Grey Darms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 33,161 Grey Darms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and the nation is designated as a welfare recipient under Skandilundian law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treya-Talbo's national animal is the Albatross, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Treya-Talbo is ranked 256,223^rd in the world and 12,265^th in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.82 crimes per hour.
