The Republic of Tralusa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alex Scion with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.279 billion Tralusans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tralusa City. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tralusan economy, worth 332 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,412 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strange men lingering in offices distributing television sets is a basis for a system of government, third world countries are rich in "I Love Tralusa City" t-shirts, crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tralusa's national animal is the pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tralusa is ranked 240,401^st in the world and 8,509^th in Balder for Fattest Citizens, with 7.85 Obesity Rate.
