The Federation of Trasniola is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by James Wagner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.408 billion Trasniolans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vologne. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trasniolan economy, worth 647 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,841 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and children are strong-armed by police into eating their greens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trasniola's national animal is the Wagneria, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wagnism.

Trasniola is ranked 183,726^th in the world and 10^th in Aeterna Regnum for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,095.05 Standard Monetary Units.
