The Domain of Triumphiam is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aldous Luxley with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, frequent executions, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.303 billion Triumphers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxa City. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Triumphiam economy, worth 855 trillion Luxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,394 Luxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Triumphiam's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Triumphiam is ranked 133,190th in the world and 1,897th in The East Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 785.76 milliStalins.
