The Democratic Republic of Troc is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Viljami Laaksonen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.529 billion Trocs hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keskusdemokraatit. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Trocian economy, worth a remarkable 3,756 trillion Troccoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 498,887 Troccoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

When their backs are against the walls Trocs look out for gay men, burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Troc's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Troc is ranked 120,868^th in the world and 1,598^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,143.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
