The Kingdom of Trabo is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.858 billion Traboans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Traboan economy, worth 119 trillion Gold Bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 64,173 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, judges are all-powerful, and schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trabo's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trabo is ranked 186,452nd in the world and 12th in The Coalition of Card Buddies for Safest, scoring 53.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
