The 安静的共和国 of Triestine is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Trond H Walter with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.612 billion Triestines hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyeze. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Triestinite economy, worth 656 trillion Kalls a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,914 Kalls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, and there are no more heroes any more. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triestine's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Triestine is ranked 7,870^th in the world and 161^st in the West Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,140.8 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
