The Back with no Cards of Troc is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Viljami Laaksonen with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.387 billion Trocs 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 Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keskusdemokraatit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Trocian economy, worth 393 trillion Troccoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,685 Troccoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 510,067 per year while the poor average 40,966, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, and spontaneous nocturnal decapitation is considered 'death by natural causes' for enemies of Troc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Troc's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Troc is ranked 18,011^th in the world and 384^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,473.69 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
