The United Socialist States of Trueze is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 197 million Truezeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Truezean economy, worth 5.57 trillion worksmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 28,259 worksmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moonshine has made a resurgence, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trueze's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Trueze is ranked 127,016^th in the world and 1,041^st in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,515.94 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
