The Principality of Traalso is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.015 billion Traalsoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The strong Traalsoan economy, worth 75.1 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 73,995 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, annual tax returns take at least two years to complete, guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Traalso, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Traalso's national animal is the crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Traalso is ranked 227,473^rd in the world and 20^th in The Wave Experience for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,762.77 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
