The Empire of Travencore is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Benjamin J Abraham with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.617 billion Travencoreans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trivandrum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Travencorean economy, worth a remarkable 2,182 trillion Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,300 Kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 566,415 per year while the poor average 32,786, a ratio of 17.3 to 1.

Annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Benjamin J Abraham to meetings with foreign heads of state, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and a flying elephant and Benjamin J Abraham share the same nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Travencore's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Travencore is ranked 100,205th in the world and 26th in India for Most Stationary, with 436.5527414394 days.
