The Ministerial Truth of True is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 5.369 billion Trueans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Truean economy, worth 232 trillion Golden Bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,384 Golden Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Emperor Wuff's hair, religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and recognizing the Truean flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. True's national animal is the Reindeer Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Yodlism.

True is ranked 88,163^rd in the world and 3^rd in The Graveyard That Has No Big Banks for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,312.77 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
