The Empire of TRONIXX is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8 million TRONIXXians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair TRONIXXian economy, worth 264 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,046 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TRONIXX's national animal is the Bird , which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

TRONIXX is ranked 286,178^th in the world and 106^th in The Pacifica for Most Developed, scoring 48.5 on the Human Development Index.
