The Principality of Trotterdam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 27.761 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 isn't funded at all. 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 13,660 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 492,075 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, and prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows. 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 304,875^th in the world and 20^th in Pony Lands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
