The Democratic Republic of Troc is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Viljami Laaksonen with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.688 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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Trocian economy, worth a remarkable 3,894 trillion Troccoins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 506,563 Troccoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Shanty towns have formed around the newly rebuilt commercial district, bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and Keskusdemokraatit's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. 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 803^rd in the world and 21^st in The East Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 15,925.04 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
