The Trade Federation of The Tribia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by William Valdez with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.293 billion Tribians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brison. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tribian economy, worth a remarkable 1,461 trillion Tribian Dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,461 Tribian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, military spending is on the increase, in a fit of passion William Valdez has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over The Tribia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Tribia's national animal is the Small-Mouth Bass, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Valdezism.

The Tribia is ranked 10,150^th in the world and 17^th in Lands End for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
