The Star Trek Nation of Trecdom2 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Airman Yates with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 10.773 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 Air Force. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. 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 Port Dawgs, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Aim High, and its currency is the Airman's Coin.

Trecdom2 is ranked 153rd in Texas and 127,883rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
