The Colony of Tridenta is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 491 million Trident Operatives are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of REDACTED Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The thriving Tridentan economy, worth 33.1 trillion Specs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 67,485 Specs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,513 per year while the poor average 14,724, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

A degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, and fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tridenta's national animal is the VX 15X STOL, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tridenta is ranked 117,845^th in the world and 81^st in Edoca for Most Developed, scoring 58.45 on the Human Development Index.
