The State of Traversey is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.261 billion Traverseyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 41.6%.

The Traverseyian economy, worth 913 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 30,183 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and Traversey has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Traversey's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Traversey is ranked 96,226^th in the world and 1^st in South Sandwich Islands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 967.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
