The Democratic Republic of Tranver is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.785 billion Tranverians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tranver City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The all-consuming Tranverian economy, worth 200 trillion WHIES a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,198 WHIES, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

A light breeze is enough to make Leader fold, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the government seizes all major gold finds, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tranver's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tranver is ranked 226,375^th in the world and 5^th in Industrialists for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 268.51 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
