The Totalist State of Tragesch Firwat is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Tāchiren with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.207 billion Feitrach are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Feitrach economy, worth 307 trillion Tirshas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 73,100 Tirshas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, Tragesch Firwat isn't what it used to be, radiation is a hot topic, and you gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Tragesch Firwat's national animal is the Hyaena, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tragesch Firwat is ranked 307,747^th in the world and 4,680^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 11 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
