The United Kingdom of Trashenda is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 18 million Trashendamishals 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.1%.

The strong Trashendish economy, worth 1.18 trillion Engloonds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 65,392 Engloonds, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and the military's newest toy broadcasts Trashenda's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Trashenda's national animal is the Blue lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trashenda is ranked 245,196^th in the world and 3,018^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
