The Troutarchy of The Redwood Isles is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The High Troutarch with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.329 billion Redwood Islanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Environment, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Capitale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Redwood Islesian economy, worth 509 trillion Gold-Standards a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,143 Gold-Standards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 714,787 per year while the poor average 19,640, a ratio of 36.4 to 1.

Foreigners often find themselves on the wrong end of a Redwood Islesian RPG, frustrated teenage boys are told that if they like it then they should have put a ring on it, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Redwood Isles's national animal is the Narwhal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Troutic Loonism.

The Redwood Isles is ranked 218,638^th in the world and 4,331^st in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -95.57 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
