The Communist Utopia of Travislavania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.734 billion Travislavanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vussal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Travislavanian economy, worth 234 trillion Gold Bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,374 Gold Bars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, gambling is outlawed, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Travislavania's national animal is the siberian bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stalinism.

Travislavania is ranked 14,525^th in the world and 610^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 46.9 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
