The Confederacy of Transnister is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Chief of State with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 16.709 billion Transnisterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beshel. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Transnisterian economy, worth a remarkable 3,710 trillion aurics a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 222,084 aurics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, city-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and there is one competing standard. Crime is totally unknown. Transnister's national animal is the Grey Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Transnister is ranked 10,694^th in the world and 10^th in The Hole To Hide In for Nicest Citizens, with 30.18 average smiles per day.
