Overview

The Community of Trotsgrad is located in The Sunbelt. The Community of Trotsgrad is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of over 100 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 64%. A substantial private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trotsgrad's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Marxic.

Trotsgrad is ranked:

  • 2nd in the region for The Largest Cheese Export Sector in The Sunbelt
  • 3rd in the region for The Largest Basket Weaving Sector in The Sunbelt
  • 4th in the region for The Largest Insurance Industry in The Sunbelt
  • 6th in the region for The Most Income Equality in The Sunbelt
  • 7th in the region for The Largest Agricultural Sector in The Sunbelt
  • 10th in the region for The Nicest Citizens in The Sunbelt
