The United Kingdom of Trashenda is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 18 million Trashendamishals 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.

The strong Trashendish economy, worth 1.16 trillion Engloonds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 64,425 Engloonds, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", Trashenda has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, and shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trashenda's national animal is the Blue lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trashenda is ranked 245,225^th in the world and 3,022^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
