The Republic of Tristizo is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Bella Rikkard with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.276 billion Tristizoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matti. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tristizoan economy, worth 883 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,989 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tristizo's national animal is the sea turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Zubas.

Tristizo is ranked 119,249^th in the world and 5^th in Aurora for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,187.91 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
