The Free Land of Triagad is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 99 million Triagadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Triagadian economy, worth 2.24 trillion lurs 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 22,666 lurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, the nation leads The Leftist Assembly in per capita stalking, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Triagad's national animal is the ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Triagad is ranked 318,983^rd in the world and 733^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Black Market, with 3.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
