The Tri State area of Tri Ann is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 724 million Tri Anni are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centrale Pointe. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tri Ann economy, worth 35.8 trillion Tranns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,485 Tranns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', Cranes have more rights than the average citizen, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tri Ann's national animal is the Crane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tri Ann is ranked 23,859^th in the world and 173^rd in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 20.98 average smiles per day.
