The Oppressed Peoples of Trachtania is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Trachtania's national animal is the raven, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the trach.
