The Dictatorship of Threeist is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.817 billion Threeistians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The all-consuming Threeistian economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 trillion Threeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,497 Threeses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 434,478 per year while the poor average 23,384, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

Burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, the 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, and Threeist is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Threeist's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Threeist is ranked 263,441st in the world and 4,964th in Artificial Solar System for Most Primitive, scoring -203.26 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
