The Free Market Capitalists of Trotsky-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 17.57 billion Trotsky-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.3%.

The powerhouse Trotsky-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,262 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,847 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, war criminals are given full state funerals, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trotsky-1's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Trotsky-1 is ranked 220,065^th in the world and 1^st in Trotsky for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.27 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
