The United States of Trulu is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ray Branch with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.928 billion Truluans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Truluan City. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Truluan economy, worth 269 trillion Sand Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,079 Sand Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Trulu's national animal is the Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Trulu is ranked 258,756^th in the world and 4,653^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
