Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Tricopilla is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by David and Gabi with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 6.48 billion Tricopillans 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funland. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tricopillan economy, worth 515 trillion Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,519 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tricopilla's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tricopilla is ranked 25,441^st in the world and 321^st in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
