The United Socialist States of TROLLWAFFEN

“No wolves no sheeps and no shepards”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Socialist States of TROLLWAFFEN is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.199 billion WAFFENS 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 relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient WAFFENIAN economy, worth a remarkable 1,087 trillion keks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 209,126 keks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, a government program is underway to revitalize TROLLWAFFEN's beaches, and gift baskets often contain working nukes. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. TROLLWAFFEN's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

TROLLWAFFEN is ranked 34,198^th in the world and 47^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,995.8 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
