The People's Republic of The Trab is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lula with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.109 billion Trabians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pren City. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Trabian economy, worth 54.7 trillion Prens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,316 Prens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Trab's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is None.

The Trab is ranked 17,123^rd in the world and 869^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 24.05 average smiles per day.
