The Colony of Trothlocham is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.622 billion Scholetts are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Trothlochamian economy, worth 303 trillion Torns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 53,957 Torns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Athletes and street criminals compete for solid steel baseball bats, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, millions are awarded in damages for bad haircuts, and most Trothlochamian video games are banned in other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trothlocham's national animal is the Goose, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Trothlocham is ranked 116,957^th in the world and 1^st in The Maisten Territories for Most Extreme, scoring 21.94 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
