The Շ๏אเς ђєɭɭรςคקє of Trash Heap is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bₐₙₙₑd ₜₕₑ ₚᵣₒₕᵢbᵢₜₑd with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.027 billion ₘᵤₜₐₜₑd ₗᵤₘₚₛ ₒf fₑₛₜₑᵣᵢₙg bₒᵢₗₛ are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ₘᵢddₑₙ wₐₗₗₒwₛ. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient ₘᵤₜₐₜᵢₙg ₐₙd Fₑₛₜₑᵣᵢₙg economy, worth a remarkable 1,006 trillion Gₐᵣbₐgₑs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 332,539 Gₐᵣbₐgₑs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and the nation won three wars against Brancaland this weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Trash Heap's national animal is the ₜₒₓᵢc fₐcₛᵢₘᵢₗₑ ₒf ₐ ᵥₑᵣy ₑₓₜᵢₙcₜ ₐₙᵢₘₐₗ, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is ₜₕₑ Dₑₜᵣᵢₜᵤₛ ₐₚₒₛₜₑₘₐₜₑ.

Trash Heap is ranked 291,001^st in the world and 198^th in Hell for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.11 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
