The People's Republic of Triflusia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Charles May with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.951 billion Triflusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mayburg. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Triflusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,807 trillion folksmanis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 365,153 folksmanis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Large areas of Triflusia are not accessible by the public, fat-shaming is now public policy, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triflusia's national animal is the grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Redmaism.
Triflusia is ranked 286,248th in the world and 3,652nd in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
