The Occupied Earth of Transitional Global Authority is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Alan Snyder with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.87 billion Colonists are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davos Colony. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse colonial economy, worth 888 trillion Obsoletes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,082 Obsoletes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, and nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transitional Global Authority's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Greatest Day.

Transitional Global Authority is ranked 246,968^th in the world and 3,233^rd in Ambition for Most Secular, with 13.14 Atheism Rate.
