The District of Traverser is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 19.635 billion Traverserians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Traverserian economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 57,224 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 389,058 per year while the poor average 3,074, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Traverser's national animal is the deer.

Traverser is ranked 227,318^th in the world and 6^th in Orient for Safest, scoring 22.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
