The Dictatorship of Traoland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Zanster Darkeyes with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, zero percent divorce rate, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.046 billion Traolandians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deepshore. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Traolandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,997 trillion Denariis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,510 Denariis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Traoland, and it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Traoland's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Traoland is ranked 122,581st in the world and 4,962nd in Osiris for Safest, scoring 72.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
