The Armed Republic of Tredessia is a large, orderly nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 116 million Tredessians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Tredessian economy, worth 3.90 trillion Tredessian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,607 Tredessian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tredessia's national animal is the idk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tredessia is ranked 233,441^st in the world and 17^th in Welves Region for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 668.17 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
