The United Socialist States of TROLLWAFFEN is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.745 billion WAFFENS hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TROLLWAFFEIAN economy, worth 796 trillion keks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 212,770 keks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wolf has a hungry look, children happily laugh and play on their way to school during air-raids, the dead fish in the national rivers aren't decomposing because even bacteria can't survive the levels of toxicity, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. TROLLWAFFEN's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

TROLLWAFFEN is ranked 6,253^rd in the world and 174^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 508 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
