The Democratic Republic of Troposia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Timo De Ganck with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.346 billion Troposians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sint Timoteüs. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Troposian economy, worth 533 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,492 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, the last thing Troposian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, families burn Timo De Ganck's latest official photograph to keep warm, and tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Troposia Blood Tithe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Troposia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christian.

Troposia is ranked 18,271^st in the world and 19^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,478.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
