The Getting in Shape trainee of Trecdom2 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by AF Trainee with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed population of 7.997 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lackland. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, the government is avowedly atheist, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trecdom2's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is PT, and its currency is the Airman's coin.

Trecdom2 is ranked 115th in Texas and 87,681st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -55 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
