Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Commonwealth of Drunk Trolls is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Drooling BigHead with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 16.925 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Equality, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Troll Hole. The average income tax rate is 10%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drunk Trolls's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the sideofmutton.

Drunk Trolls is ranked 4,426th in The North Pacific and 96,432nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
