The Republic of Trolleborg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vladimir Finn with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 28.31 billion Trolleborgians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trolleborg City. The average income tax rate is 14.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trolleborgian economy, worth a remarkable 8,726 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 308,241 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, the government has been criticized for giving away Trolleborg's territory to anyone who claims it, visitors to Graffiti Warrens National Park are offered a complimentary tetanus vaccination, and the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trolleborg's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trolleborg is ranked 294,453rd in the world and 5,679th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 14.83 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
