The Badge-Collecting Assassins of TryHards is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Anthrax the deadly with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.539 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 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Tryhardian economy, worth 559 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 123,370 skill points, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 523,478 per year while the poor average 18,754, a ratio of 27.9 to 1.

Apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, a teen dramedy has been taken off air because the main villain is a man, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers. 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 36,097^th in the world and 16^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,409.57 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
