The Principality of Traalso is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.203 billion Traalsoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The strong Traalsoan economy, worth 89.4 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 74,315 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Traalso, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and Traalso recently decided against having a capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Traalso's national animal is the crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Traalso is ranked 162,227^th in the world and 11^th in The Wave Experience for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,039.91 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
