The Wanted to card farming of Troc is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Viljami Laaksonen with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.393 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 medium-sized, 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 77.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Trocian economy, worth 398 trillion Troccoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 166,508 Troccoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 522,977 per year while the poor average 40,591, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, and money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence. 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 162,956th in the world and 2,885th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 233.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
