The Badge-Collecting Assassins of TryHards is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Anthrax the deadly with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.134 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, moralistic, 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 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tryhardian economy, worth 493 trillion skill points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,395 skill points, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 522,063 per year while the poor average 17,226, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

Owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Anthrax the deadly's office, the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, and the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today. 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 84,626^th in the world and 16^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Extreme, scoring 25.05 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
