The Republic of Trakhdia is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 7 million Trakhdians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Trakhdian economy, worth 201 billion Trakhis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 28,832 Trakhis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trakhdia's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Trakhdia is ranked 183,589^th in the world and 70^th in Nordic Lands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 891.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
