The Federation of Trans-Skittles is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 56 million Trans-Skittlesians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Trans-Skittlesian economy, worth 1.39 trillion Skittleses a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,861 Skittleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, a third of Trans-Skittlesians are e-certified CEOs, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trans-Skittles's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Trans-Skittles is ranked 71,036^th in the world and 224^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 426.5 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
