The CUP Museum World of The T R E E is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Confederacy of Undivulged Principles with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.801 billion Warden of T R E ES 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of T R E E Center. The average income tax rate is 92.3%.

The all-consuming T R E Eian economy, worth a remarkable 2,709 trillion chlorphyls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,820 chlorphyls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The T R E E's national animal is the fruitbat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dendrolatrism.

The T R E E is ranked 21,440^th in the world and 18^th in Eladen for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 269.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
