Tritopea is a tiny island nation with a population of precisely 105. Little is known by outsiders about this reclusive nation, which is generally dismissed as a mere artifact of the mapmaker due to its ridiculous triangularity and miniscule size. However, several documents created by the Tritopean leadership have been obtained and published in electronic form. They are included here in an effort to illuminate the nature of this curious society through their own words.

The Birth of Tritopea

In The Beginning There were only the formless arcs of chaos that were the primordial curves of an infant universe unformed.

Then there was formed Linae whose consciousness awoken did stretch straight among the curved waves of chaos. And Linae looked upon the world and saw that it was without form, so He gathered the twisted fabric of the universe and with his pointed ends did weave them into straightened beings. "These I shall call the Sides," proclaimed He, and did rest.

Then happily the Sides did swim in the sea of curves, nourished by the arcs within it and bisecting to ever grow their numbers. But then from the Arcs was formed Circlae whose roundness held order beyond all the chaos and He, whose thoughts now came to him did roll about and find the Sides all plentiful and he alone and round.

Circlae rolled about the sea and gathered many arcs upon his shell and many more he smothered under his infinite side with a call to be not rigid, but round, like was He. Then He grew so large but with his structure sound could not split to from from one, two of him. And so bloated did he lose all energy and fall upon the sea to form the land on which his circle children now did frolic carelessly.

The Sides saw this new land upon the sea and they were envious. And so they swam about its shores...

Instructions For Formation of New Population Layers

Formation
of new levels
of population shall
be undergone using the
algorithm prescribed by the
Ancient ones and upheld by the
infinite wisdom of the elders who
have led our society into the fruitful
age of plentiful population in our lands.

The
founding
principle
shall be this:
That at no time shall
the population of cognizant
Tritopeans be numerically unequal
to all of the grandest of holy sequences,
so that in front of the great temple may always
all assemble in the most sacred of shapes, the pyramid.

There
Will be
maintained
A pool of children
yet immersed in the formless
haze of the mind still newly born.
Upon the simultaneous formation of the
lucid mind's triangle within the number which
would complete a successive population level, and
only upon this condition shall the newborns be introduced
into the society and another level formed. If one should die
and leave a point of weakness in the pyramid, so shall a child
be chosen for the strongest of traits and shall take the dead's place.
