The Republic of Treppe is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 2.92 billion Treppeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 17.7%.

The strong Treppean economy, worth 168 trillion Steps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 57,602 Steps, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treppe's national animal is the Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Treppe is ranked 133,285^th in the world and 17^th in Patriam for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
