The Colony of Tridenta is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 503 million Trident Operatives are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of REDACTED Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The thriving Tridentan economy, worth 34.0 trillion Specs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 67,580 Specs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,834 per year while the poor average 14,745, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tridenta's national animal is the VX 15X STOL, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tridenta is ranked 231,937^th in the world and 339^th in Edoca for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
