The Snarky Space Penguin of Trivalve is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Indra Cormac with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.191 billion Trivalveans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hivemind. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trivalvean economy, worth a remarkable 1,006 trillion Kyanites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 162,623 Kyanites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is totally unknown. Trivalve's national animal is the Pinnacarid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Trivalve is ranked 92,400^th in the world and 123^rd in Crimson Spire for Most Corrupt Governments, with 15.84 kickbacks per hour.
