The United Socialist States of Tryv is a tiny, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7 million Tryvians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tryvian economy, worth 262 billion Kernrivls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,472 Kernrivls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, the government pours millions of Kernrivls into rehabilitation programs annually, penal labor is a de facto death sentence, and voting is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tryv's national animal is the Llyrikriv.

Tryv is ranked 298,109^th in the world and 25^th in Enomenos for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,476.32 Standard Monetary Units.
