The City of Trani is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.388 billion Tranesi, 652 million of whom are zombies, are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The very strong Tranese economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,011 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,110 per year while the poor average 15,201, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", black tea is only available on the black market, bris parties are all the rage, and blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Trani's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Trani is ranked 63,047^th in the world and 26^th in Comuni for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 572.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
