The Principality of Traannhjaem is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.092 billion Traannhjaemians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The powerhouse Traannhjaemian economy, worth 963 trillion kroner a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,843 kroner, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,055 per year while the poor average 8,217, a ratio of 32.7 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Traannhjaem's national animal is the isbjørn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Traannhjaem is ranked 303,880^th in the world and 56^th in Scandinavia for Largest Governments, scoring 6.56 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
