The Republic of Tremlen is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 603 million Tremlenians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayoko. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tremlenian economy, worth 34.7 trillion Dultans a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,467 Dultans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, children are expected to carve their own toys, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tremlen's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tremlen is ranked 91,702^nd in the world and 142^nd in Bozarkia for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
