The Democratic Republic of Transbiansylvania is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Secretary Juanita Salinas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.678 billion Transbiansylvanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marshagrad. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Transbiansylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,204 trillion Ludoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 180,398 Ludoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Transbiansylvania's national animal is the coastal timber rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Transbiansylvania is ranked 267,035^th in the world and 1,870^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -485.47 on the Hayek Index.
