The Allied States of Tralfamdore is a huge, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 212 million Tralfamdoreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tralfamdorean economy, worth 14.5 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,631 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tralfamdore's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tralfamdore is ranked 155,046^th in the world and 305^th in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 53.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
