The Incorporated States of Trytedald is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 157 million Trytedaldians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Trytedaldian economy, worth 10.8 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 68,910 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 235,691 per year while the poor average 14,810, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

Wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry, Leader's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Trytedald's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Trytedald is ranked 109,507^th in the world and 349^th in Europeia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 33.16 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
