The Community of Troutman is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 107 million Troutman Natives 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Troutmanian economy, worth 5.45 trillion TMDollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,927 TMDollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, the entire entry for Troutman in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', graffiti graces every city's streets, and the libraries of Troutman are staffed by lone, lonely librarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Troutman's national animal is the Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Troutman is ranked 118,958^th in the world and 128^th in The United Binturong Islands for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
