The Community of Transitia is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 1.199 billion Transites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Transitian economy, worth 23.1 trillion Scrips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,228 Scrips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, people typically base their votes on which party has the cutest logo, and oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transitia's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is XTC - Dear God.

Transitia is ranked 223,618th in the world and 9,214th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 756.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
