The Second Republic of Transselania is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by General Jizbor Gajev with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.106 billion Selanese and Tunglanese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoltariev de facto - Hornislav de jure. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.9%.

The strong Selanese and Tunglanese economy, worth 398 trillion warbonds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,043 warbonds, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, shipping canals are a bit like unimaginative cheese shops -- filled with debris, there's a bright dawn ahead for Transselania, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transselania's national animal is the Hornislav cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity - Church of Transselania.

Transselania is ranked 306,861^st in the world and 21^st in Union of Conlang Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -52.58 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
