The Empire of Trimble

“Peace through Strength”

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

The Empire of Trimble is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jay Larson with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 5.746 billion Trimbleans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larson City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Trimblean economy, worth a remarkable 1,086 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 189,167 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, agricultural employees work for peanuts, and bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trimble's national animal is the Dragon fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Geepeeessism.

Trimble is ranked 11,556^th in the world and 153^rd in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
