The United Socialist States of Trentes is a massive, genial nation, ruled by General Secretary Jorden Hutchins with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.543 billion Trentesans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Crux. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Trentesian economy, worth 48.4 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 31,383 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Death is nobody's business, asylum seekers have voted Trentes as best layover destination, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", and Blackacrean security services are wondering why General Secretary Jorden Hutchins is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trentes's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Trentes is ranked 220,814^th in the world and 12,022^nd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.54 billion capita.
