The Gamesters of Tri-Skelion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Providers with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.721 billion Drill Thralls are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Power Station. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Triskelion economy, worth a remarkable 1,322 trillion Quatloos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,367 Quatloos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 478,914 per year while the poor average 21,754, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.
The nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, and schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Tri-Skelion's national animal is the Thrall, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Tri-Skelion is ranked 341,601st in the world and 184th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Smartest Citizens, with 0.78 quips per hour.
