The People's Republic of Triflusia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Charles May with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.463 billion Triflusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mayburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Triflusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,661 trillion folksmanis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 411,876 folksmanis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, citizens are only allowed to view government-approved TV shows, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, and six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triflusia's national animal is the grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Redmaism.

Triflusia is ranked 332,384^th in the world and 3,467^th in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -30.43 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
