The Incorporated States of Transarya is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12 million Transaryans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The powerhouse Transaryan economy, worth 980 billion Aryarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 81,706 Aryarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 322,172 per year while the poor average 14,046, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.

The caged-bird trade is singing, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', leakers release information by etching graffiti on bathroom stalls, and the government is constantly playing a game of four-dimensional economic chess with health insurance firms. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Transarya's national animal is the Penguin.

Transarya is ranked 284,512^th in the world and 4^th in Northwestern Devikbatland for Nicest Citizens, with 3.13 average smiles per day.
