The Community of Treeola is a small, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 36 million Treeolans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Treeolan economy, worth 831 billion Orcrits 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 23,089 Orcrits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treeola's national animal is the Red Bellied Wolf.

Treeola is ranked 172,009^th in the world and 2^nd in Canopy Command for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 178.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
