The United Socialist States of TROLLWAFFEN is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.671 billion WAFFENS hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TROLLWAFFEIAN economy, worth 790 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, fairly diversified 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 215,414 keks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the military is plagued with unethical researchers, the wolf has a hungry look, and children happily laugh and play on their way to school during air-raids. 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 17,039^th in the world and 379^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,011.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
