The Colony of Transhumia is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.447 billion Transhumians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Transhumian economy, worth a remarkable 3,230 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 175,137 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Transhumia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transhumia's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Transhumia is ranked 3,421^st in the world and 1^st in Nova Historiae for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,849.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
