The Armed Republic of Trenereste is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 273 million Trenerestanoes 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plazouthan. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Trenerestean economy, worth 27.3 trillion Hurpias a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,926 Hurpias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Leader, competing film industry executives commission movies depicting each other as ugly baby-eating villains, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and gold stars and candy are said to be the best way to Leader's heart. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trenereste's national animal is the Malussauro, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Trenereste is ranked 171,992^nd in the world and 64^th in Flanelistan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 495.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
