The Republic of Trakona is a massive, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.487 billion Trakonans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Trakonan economy, worth 168 trillion Coinage Systems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,088 Coinage Systems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, Trakonans must literally pay their respects to hear from their political representatives, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trakona's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Trakona is ranked 192,125^th in the world and 28^th in Benigtopia for Largest Populations, with 1.49 billion capita.
