The Armed Republic of Trenereste is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 380 million Trenerestanoes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plazouthan. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Trenerestean economy, worth 41.3 trillion Hurpias a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,689 Hurpias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions, a new generation of space-obsessed youth are convinced there's nothing out there, citizens must pay to enjoy Trenereste's pristine beaches, and directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Plazouthan as a backdrop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trenereste's national animal is the Malussauro, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Trenereste is ranked 45,689^th in the world and 3^rd in Skeridia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
