The Empire of Tridya is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Darius with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.132 billion Tridyans 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ifrinn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The powerhouse Tridyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,315 trillion Pires a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,204 Pires, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 469,882 per year while the poor average 12,740, a ratio of 36.9 to 1.

The nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, and foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Tridyan bee. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tridya's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Tridya is ranked 7,719th in the world and 550th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 94,392.33 Standard Monetary Units.
