The People's Republic of Trip is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning porpoise population. The hard-working population of 2.951 billion Tripians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The Tripian economy, worth 123 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,829 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trip's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Trip is ranked 227,892^nd in the world and 12^th in Enomenos for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,728.48 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
