The Republic Federation of Trelatche is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Robert Anderson with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.531 billion Trelatcheans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mediete. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trelatchean economy, worth a remarkable 1,765 trillion Simoleons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,516 Simoleons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is rumoured that President Robert Anderson uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trelatche's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Trelatche is ranked 5,781^st in the world and 185^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,679.93 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
