The Principality of Trotterdam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.863 billion Trotterdammers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trotterdam. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Trotterdam economy, worth an astonishing 13,035 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 485,265 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dinosaur breeders have a yabba-dabba-doo gay old time in Trotterdam, birth rates have hit an all-time low, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and sections of the police receive paramilitary training. Crime is totally unknown. Trotterdam's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Harmony.
