The Gamesters of Tri-Skelion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Providers with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.053 billion Drill Thralls 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Power Station. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Triskelion economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Quatloos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 111,495 Quatloos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 445,757 per year while the poor average 18,736, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.

Big Belly is watching you, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, and anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tri-Skelion's national animal is the Thrall, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tri-Skelion is ranked 210,954^th in the world and 131^st in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Primitive, scoring -89.45 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
