The Democratic Union of New Trisone is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dorian Q'umir with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.964 billion New Trisoneans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Trisone City. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Trisonean economy, worth a remarkable 1,716 trillion Fusean Notes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,450 Fusean Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime is totally unknown. New Trisone's national animal is the Coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Trisone is ranked 208,135^th in the world and 9,404^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -136.56 on the Hayek Index.
