The Empire of Trega is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Rex Hunter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.543 billion Tregans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trenten. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tregan economy, worth 296 trillion Tyrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 83,796 Tyrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trega's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Trega is ranked 26,849^th in the world and 2^nd in Freely Guads for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 236.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
