The Republic of Nova Trento is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 751 million Trentoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Granaccia. The average income tax rate is 24.2%.

The strong Trentoan economy, worth 51.5 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,615 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Trento's national animal is the Iberian Lynx.

Nova Trento is ranked 132,271^st in the world and 160^th in Lands End for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 66.08 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
