The Republic of Tralusa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alex Scion with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.308 billion Tralusans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tralusa City. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tralusan economy, worth 335 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,412 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strange men lingering in offices distributing television sets is a basis for a system of government, third world countries are rich in "I Love Tralusa City" t-shirts, crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tralusa's national animal is the pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tralusa is ranked 290,916^th in the world and 11,004^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
