The Confederacy of Transnister is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chief of State with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working population of 11.509 billion Transnisterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beshel. The average income tax rate is 17.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Transnisterian economy, worth a remarkable 2,318 trillion aurics a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,438 aurics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the people's love for Chief of State is little more than self-preservation, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and claims adjusters are uselessly vague. Crime is totally unknown. Transnister's national animal is the Grey Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Transnister is ranked 261,931^st in the world and 95^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.72 kickbacks per hour.
