The Empire of Treur is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 16.75 billion Treurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.9%.

The strong Treurian economy, worth 803 trillion Guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 47,945 Guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treur's national animal is the Eagle.

Treur is ranked 138,344^th in the world and 3^rd in Pawnsilvania for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
