The Dominion of Tragesch Firwat is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its fear of technology, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 56 million Tragicmannen 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. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Tragic economy, worth 974 billion Rechters 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming. 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 17,393 Rechters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that she is in fact a crook after all, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, concert pianists lie about their occupation to avoid ridicule, and kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tragesch Firwat's national animal is the Hyena, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tragesch Firwat is ranked 82,358^th in the world and 2,377^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 343.33 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
