The Armed Republic of Transthulis is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.322 billion Transthulisians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.7%.

The strong Transthulisian economy, worth 597 trillion Thules a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,856 Thules, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, the military struggles with recruitment, Transthulis is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and abortions are routinely performed in Transthulis's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transthulis's national animal is the Grizly Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Transthulis is ranked 14,254^th in the world and 51^st in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
