abstract
We show some results related to the classical Banach-Tarski paradox in the setting of finite-dimensional normed spaces over a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. For instance, all balls and spheres in $K^n$, and the whole space $K^n$ (for $n\ge 2$) are paradoxical with respect to certain groups of isometries of $K^n$. If $K$ is locally compact (e.g., $K$ is the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers for any prime number $p$), any two bounded subsets of $K^n$ with nonempty interiors are equidecomposable (and paradoxical) with respect to a certain group of isometries of $K^n$ (for $n\ge 2$).

Paradoxical decompositions of finite-dimensional non-Archimedean normed spaces
Every finite-dimensional normed space of dimension at least two over a complete nontrivially valued non-Archimedean field is paradoxical using four affine isometry pieces.
