The Dominion of Trouble Nation is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Recidivist with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 39.639 billion Trouble Nationians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crematoria. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Trouble Nationian economy, worth an astonishing 19,389 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 489,143 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crematoria's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, there is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime is totally unknown. Trouble Nation's national animal is the Hellhound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Trouble Nation is ranked 3,487th in the world and 174th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
