The Reserves of Trecdom2 is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by AF Trainee with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.598 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 Travis AFB. The average income tax rate is 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, children are raised bilingual from an early age, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. 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 Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Air Power, and its currency is the Apple Pie.

Trecdom2 is ranked 164th in Texas and 99,871st in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
