Location: The Axis of Evil

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Starting-up Paradise of Trigania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Burt Widter with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 22.638 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 61%. A very small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, all guns must be registered, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and calling out of the blue has become taboo. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trigania's national animal is the Ravenous Bugblatter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ningi.

Trigania is ranked 1st in The Axis of Evil and 1,207th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 137 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
