The Meritocracy of Transborealia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ilja Egorov with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.224 billion Transborealians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladijuga. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Transborealian economy, worth 456 trillion transboreal bytes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 141,709 transboreal bytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ilja Egorov's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, pilgrims from across the world come to Transborealia to worship a glowing tree with a face carved on it, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, and the government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transborealia's national animal is the rock ptarmigan bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Maggukism.

Transborealia is ranked 268,308^th in the world and 106^th in Aesica for Largest Black Market, with 104 billion Standard Monetary Units.
