The Back with no Cards of Troc is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Viljami Laaksonen with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.327 billion Trocs 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keskusdemokraatit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Trocian economy, worth 370 trillion Troccoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,153 Troccoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, and suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Troc's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Troc is ranked 248,798^th in the world and 4,679^th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 1.34 average smiles per day.
