The Republic of Trahis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.07 billion Trahisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Trahisian economy, worth 761 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,114 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, and foreigners write "made in Trahis" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trahis's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Trahis is ranked 35,218th in the world and 82nd in Gardenia Botanicum for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,120.88 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
