The Republic of Transfrancia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.944 billion Transfrancians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wopbopaloobop. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Transfrancian economy, worth 108 trillion estevenants a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,839 estevenants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transfrancia's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Transfrancia is ranked 28,363^rd in the world and 1,605^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 82 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
