The United Kingdom of Free Tristania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by His Majesty's Government with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.825 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Handelshaven. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.
Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Tristania's national animal is the Sumatran Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is the National Protestant Church, and its currency is the Free Tristanian Dollar.
Free Tristania is ranked 107th in Nordic Lands and 78,725th in the world for Most Conservative, scoring 45 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
