The Badge-Collecting Assassins of TryHards is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Anthrax the deadly with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.673 billion Tryhards are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, 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 Achievement City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tryhardian economy, worth 577 trillion skill points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,555 skill points, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 522,053 per year while the poor average 18,919, a ratio of 27.6 to 1.

Census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in TryHards after the ban on emigration was lifted, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, TryHards is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, and politicians no longer click with dating app matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TryHards's national animal is the XPick-Me Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is TryHardian Assassin's Code.

TryHards is ranked 20,978th in the world and 4th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,966.48 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
