The Communist State of Travislavania is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 856 million Travislavanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vussal. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Travislavanian economy, worth 62.1 trillion Soviet Rubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,561 Soviet Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, destitute athletes are forced to train in the street, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, and children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Travislavania's national animal is the siberian bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Travislavania is ranked 79,832^nd in the world and 521^st in Europeia for Largest Governments, scoring 14.59 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
