World Benchmark​

The Republic of Trebizondia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 490 million Trebizondians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turan. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trebizondian economy, worth 60.5 trillion Turkish Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 123,518 Turkish Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, the government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime is totally unknown. Trebizondia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etymology

The name Trebizondia is derived from Trebizond, historically known as Trapezous (Greek: Τραπεζοῦς), an ancient city located on the southeastern coast of the Black Sea.

The Greek name Trapezous originates from the word trapeza, meaning “table” or “flat surface,” a reference commonly associated with the city’s terrace-like geography and elevated coastal plateaus overlooking the sea.

During the Roman and Byzantine periods, the name evolved into Trebizond in Latin and medieval sources. The term later gained strong political and cultural significance through the Empire of Trebizond (1204–1461), a successor state of the Byzantine tradition that served as a major commercial and diplomatic hub between Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and the Near East.

The modern name Trebizondia represents a deliberate reinterpretation of this historical legacy. The suffix -ia, widely used to denote lands, regions, or sovereign entities, reflects a broader civilizational and territorial identity rooted in the Trebizondian historical sphere rather than a single city.
