The Sheikhdom of Trarza is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Akmazir Soltani with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, triple-decker prams, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.781 billion Trarzans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ndar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.7%.

The Trarzan economy, worth 910 trillion Ouguiyas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 93,094 Ouguiyas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,812 per year while the poor average 19,503, a ratio of 16.6 to 1.

Musicians are often arrested for saying "oh my God", prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers, a friend in need is a friend with nuclear greed, and almost half of the child population live rough on the streets. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Trarza's national animal is the Camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Trarza is ranked 287,226th in the world and 176th in Africa for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
