The Tragic Addiction of The Troupe Master is a massive, genial nation, ruled by A Captivating Tragedy with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 1.419 billion Troupe Masterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crimson Troupe. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Troupe Masterian economy, worth 44.3 trillion Tragedies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,228 Tragedies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, and the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Troupe Master's national animal is the Ageless Feline, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Troupe Master is ranked 147,010^th in the world and 7^th in Crimson Troupe for Largest Black Market, with 1.20 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
