The Rogue Nation of Trout Town is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by James The Magnificent Benevolent Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 19.49 billion Trouters have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birch. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Trout Townian economy, worth a remarkable 4,797 trillion Trout a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 246,169 Trout, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Trout Townian, aides are afraid to ask if James The Magnificent Benevolent Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Trout Town's national animal is the honey badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Beer.

Trout Town is ranked 48,701^st in the world and 3,066^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
