The State of Trottier is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 15.674 billion Trottierians 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 juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Trottierian economy, worth 569 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,335 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, surveillance cameras are banned, and Trottier has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trottier's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Trottier is ranked 196,687^th in the world and 1^st in The District of Columbia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 56.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
