The Democratic Republic of Tricklandia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Renée Nicole with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.001 billion Tricklandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hipvil. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tricklandian economy, worth 289 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,705 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, billions are being spent on a new island airport, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, and the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tricklandia's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tricklandia is ranked 11,197^th in the world and 48^th in The Western Isles for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,482.32 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
