The Republic of InterTrade is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning bison population. The hard-working population of 620 million InterTradeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.0%.

The InterTradean economy, worth 23.5 trillion marks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 37,980 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. InterTrade's national animal is the bison.

InterTrade is ranked 165,117^th in the world and 859^th in the Outback for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 355.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
