The Free State of The TransPecos is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Carbon Unit 1QAZ2wsx with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.099 billion TransPecosians 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 1QAZ2wsxburgh. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient TransPecosian economy, worth an astonishing 12,454 trillion Carbonias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 318,528 Carbonias, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,643,411 per year while the poor average 33,631, a ratio of 48.9 to 1.

Incompetent former soldiers have been re-employed as incompetent cleaners and kitchen staff, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', and exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The TransPecos's national animal is the Carbon Canary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love Carbon Unit 1QAZ2wsx.

The TransPecos is ranked 2,289^th in the world and 1^st in Free States of Gaia for Most Primitive, scoring 174.15 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
