The Most Serene Republic of Trevbridge is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 559 million Trevbridgeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tilted Towers. The average income tax rate is 9.3%.

The powerhouse Trevbridgean economy, worth 51.0 trillion V-Bucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 91,159 V-Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, it's scientifically provable that Trevbridgean guys don't know how to make a woman happy, card collectors duel to the death, and street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Trevbridge's national animal is the The Chianina Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Trevbridge is ranked 125,048^th in the world and 2,543^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
