The Empire of Travencore is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Benjamin J Abraham with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.775 billion Travencoreans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trivandrum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Travencorean economy, worth a remarkable 2,210 trillion Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,454 Kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,425 per year while the poor average 34,237, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

The government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, Benjamin J Abraham's reputation is hard as nails, the Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, and urbanites battle to the death for penthouse apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Travencore's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Travencore is ranked 280,173rd in the world and 107th in India for Most Primitive, scoring -343.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
