The State of Trunu

“Empire Forever”

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

The State of Trunu is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.679 billion Trunuans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Trunuan economy, worth 187 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 13,738 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trunu's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trunu is ranked 222,460^th in the world and 6^th in Dao for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 24.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
