The Republic of Translate is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning falcon population. The democratic population of 311 million Translators are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Translatean economy, worth 8.13 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,144 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Translate's national animal is the falcon.

Translate is ranked 267,213^th in the world and 1^st in Languages for Largest Black Market, with 108 billion Standard Monetary Units.
