The Free Market Capitalists of Trotsky-1 is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 22.583 billion Trotsky-1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The powerhouse Trotsky-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,729 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,576 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned laughing swordfishball fields, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, and most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trotsky-1's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Trotsky-1 is ranked 265,515th in the world and 2nd in Communist Beach for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
