The People's Republic of Tria Ales is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 1.819 billion Tria Alesians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tria Alesian economy, worth 112 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,741 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tria Alesian scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the government asks not what you can do for your country but what you can do to tidy their country homes, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tria Ales's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tria Ales is ranked 227,198^th in the world and 4,001^st in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 27,598.48 Standard Monetary Units.
