Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Populous of Trejirmia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Day with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.108 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, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aerian District. The average income tax rate is 62%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Trejirmia is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trejirmia's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Rej.

Trejirmia is ranked 4,216th in The North Pacific and 91,300th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
