The Frosty Isles of Tryust is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Solaraeth with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 3.714 billion Tersillians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tryust City. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tersillian economy, worth 509 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 137,248 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, and third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tryust's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kalokyma.

Tryust is ranked 68,742^nd in the world and 35^th in Declansburg for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,022.13 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
