The Real Name of Trivia Vanille is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Trivia Vanille with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.781 billion Trivia Vanilleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beacon. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trivia Vanillean economy, worth a remarkable 1,438 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 248,775 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Trivia Vanille, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is totally unknown. Trivia Vanille's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

Trivia Vanille is ranked 6,268^th in the world and 8^th in Ambition for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 507.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
