The Republic of Transhalva is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alek Dezer with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.465 billion Transhalvians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Psyan. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Transhalvian economy, worth 868 trillion Dinjaras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,425 Dinjaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transhalva's national animal is the Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Transhalva is ranked 300,239^th in the world and 247^th in The League for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
