The Most Serene Republic of The TriCity is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, devout population of 306 million TriCityians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient TriCityian economy, worth 13.6 trillion Metropolitan Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,503 Metropolitan Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, The TriCity has designated The TriCity City as its capital city, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The TriCity's national animal is the Sea Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The TriCity is ranked 91,996^th in the world and 575^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 17.65 flags saluted per person per day.
