The People's Republic of Tracoa is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 267 million Tracoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Tracoan economy, worth 9.48 trillion Tracoan lire a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,503 Tracoan lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, and the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tracoa's national animal is the Polar bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tracoa is ranked 120,451^st in the world and 1,193^rd in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 74.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
