The Grand Confederacy of Triodard and Florard is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Temporary Administrator Manuel Grund with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.119 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 is mainly concerned with Defence, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sociconopolis. The average income tax rate is 57%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines. Crime is a major problem. Triodard and Florard's national animal is the Salamander, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Triodardian Odinism, and its currency is the Vaalbar.

Triodard and Florard is ranked 14th in Talos and 109,031st in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 9 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
