The People's Republic of Trastal is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Adam Lucrat with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 978 million Trastilians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ricarta City. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Trastilian economy, worth 51.8 trillion Trasts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,925 Trasts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Large areas of Trastal are not accessible by the public, maximum security Trastilian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and judges are rumored to find in favor of whoever bribes them the most. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trastal's national animal is the Tratilian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trastal is ranked 19,033^rd in the world and 16^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,843.71 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
