The MT Army Museum of Treadle is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 29.686 billion Treadleans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treadle City. The average income tax rate is 55.4%.

The strong Treadlean economy, worth a remarkable 1,864 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,813 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, billions of Citas are being blown on orbital weapons development, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, and the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treadle's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tapestry.

Treadle is ranked 6,886^th in the world and 1^st in Defending Hallow for Largest Populations, with 29.7 billion capita.
