The Holy Kingdom of Tradila is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 578 million Tradilians 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, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Traditon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The all-consuming Tradilan economy, worth 56.3 trillion Tradilian Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,414 Tradilian Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 419,552 per year while the poor average 14,431, a ratio of 29.1 to 1.

Gun owners are skilled at everything except shooting, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, the government has granted that two plus two makes four, and life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tradila's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tradila is ranked 169,737^th in the world and 157^th in Covenant Shores for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,380.98 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
