The Democratic Republic of Threefour is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 14 million Threefourites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Threefourian economy, worth 352 billion Trois-Quatres a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,171 Trois-Quatres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Threefour's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Threefour is ranked 101,472^nd in the world and 124^th in 10000 Islands for Most Devout, with 619.71 prayers per hour.
