The Republic of Thransse is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emannueyle Makron with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.116 billion Thransseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 48.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Thranssean economy, worth a remarkable 1,289 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,403 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas, maximum security Thranssean subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thransse's national animal is the Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thransse is ranked 25,211^th in the world and 1,796^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
