The Republic of Transhalva is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alek Dezer with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.619 billion Transhalvians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Psyan. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Transhalvian economy, worth 856 trillion Dinjaras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 185,414 Dinjaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transhalva's national animal is the Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Transhalva is ranked 5,318^th in the world and 13^th in The League for Highest Poor Incomes, with 162,763.3 Standard Monetary Units.
