The Union Republics of East Troptopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Union President Silvia Pérez with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26.962 billion East Troptopians 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 Law & Order, with Defense and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Ronal. The average income tax rate is 45.7%.

The strong East Troptopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion Union Atroses 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 57,251 Union Atroses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and Union President Silvia Pérez has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Troptopia's national animal is the Union Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

East Troptopia is ranked 6,435^th in the world and 1^st in Atrosia Isles for Largest Populations, with 27.0 billion capita.
