The Badge-Collecting Assassins of TryHards is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Anthrax the deadly with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.25 billion Tryhards 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achievement City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Tryhardian economy, worth 524 trillion skill points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,500 skill points, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 542,373 per year while the poor average 17,681, a ratio of 30.7 to 1.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, there's a big brother in every prison, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TryHards's national animal is the XPick-Me Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is TryHardian Assassin's Code.

TryHards is ranked 55,933^rd in the world and 23^rd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Governments, scoring 21.7 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
