The Principality of Trotterdam is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 26.775 billion Trotterdammers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trotterdam. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Trotterdam economy, worth an astonishing 12,979 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 484,772 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the government pours millions of bits into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime is totally unknown. Trotterdam's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Harmony.

Trotterdam is ranked 99^th in the world and 1^st in Pony Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 285.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
