The Dictatorship of Transtector is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.983 billion Transtectorians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Transtectorian economy, worth 170 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,761 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transtector's national animal is the Kitsune.

Transtector is ranked 274,003^rd in the world and 1,090^th in Alliance of Storage Power for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
