Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Trawa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 16.363 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and Dog is one of the most popular forenames in Trawa. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trawa's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the euro.

Trawa is ranked 1,400th in the Rejected Realms and 56,408th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 123 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
