The Marxist Republic of Trashika is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Krosiski with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.764 billion Trashikans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Towonos. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Trashikan economy, worth 91.3 trillion Weiss Marks 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 51,775 Weiss Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Krosiski can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, the government is hungry to spread communism beyond the nation's borders, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trashika's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Trashika is ranked 274,264th in the world and 9,510th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 9.25538990988 days.
