The Failed Economy Ambassador of Trecdom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Big Tex with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.773 billion Trekers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Texas. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trecdomian economy, worth a remarkable 3,031 trillion Texan Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Tourism and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 95,403 Texan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The endangered saltwater humpback SeaLion is only seen in captivity programs, large sections of Trecdom have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, pro-wrestling bouts open with a legal disclaimer insisting that any violence is guaranteed 100% faked, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trecdom's national animal is the SeaLion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Ad astra per aspera.

Trecdom is ranked 53,340th in the world and 237th in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 828.00855340752 days.
