“In Trimm we Trust”

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

The Republic of Trimmania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Trimm with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.9 billion Trimmanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caprica City. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The enormous but inefficient Trimmanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,161 trillion ooga boogas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 93,273 ooga boogas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation refuses to provide international aid, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trimmania's national animal is the snork, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trimmania is ranked 315,732^nd in the world and 5,148^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -18.33 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
