The Free and Holy Land of Triquetra is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by High Priestess Jacinth Pedersen with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 12.783 billion Victorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Triquetra Covenstead. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Victorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,224 trillion trefoils a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,765 trefoils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triquetra's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sgeòil Fithich.
Triquetra is ranked 12,803rd in the world and 4th in Trickster Eyrie for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
