The Cave Dwellers of Troglodyte is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Morlock with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.317 billion Troglodyteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Paul's. The average income tax rate is 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Troglodytean economy, worth a remarkable 6,023 trillion Mammoth Tusks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 247,703 Mammoth Tusks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Troglodyte's national animal is the Wren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Druidism.

Troglodyte is ranked 10,852nd in the world and 157th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,617.37 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
