The Watchfires of TRTP is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 22.84 billion TRTPians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TRTPian economy, worth a remarkable 2,001 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,646 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, and bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TRTP's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TRTP is ranked 17,536^th in the world and 1^st in The Region of the Polish for Nicest Citizens, with 24.05 average smiles per day.
