The Republic of Transhalva is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alek Dezer with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.509 billion Transhalvians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Psyan. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Transhalvian economy, worth 871 trillion Dinjaras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,184 Dinjaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, third world countries are rich in "I Love Psyan" t-shirts, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and Alek Dezer's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transhalva's national animal is the Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Transhalva is ranked 228,420^th in the world and 195^th in The League for Safest, scoring 45.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
