The Ever-Growing Republic of Trilakea is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.785 billion Trilakeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Social Policy is also considered important, while Environment and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Lake City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Trilakean economy, worth 278 trillion lakean dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,594 lakean dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,418 per year while the poor average 16,329, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Smoking is banned in public areas, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and healthcare funding has been cut. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Trilakea's national animal is the fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Trilakea is ranked 126,361^st in the world and 5,568^th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
