The Kingdom of The Trident is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 735 million Rivermen 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 Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.0%.

The Riverman economy, worth 34.3 trillion golden dragons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 46,672 golden dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Trident's national animal is the trout.

The Trident is ranked 94,279^th in the world and 6^th in TRIDENT for Rudest Citizens, with 56.95 insults per minute.
