The Commonwealth of Tranzeet is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Princeps with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, avant-garde cinema, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.352 billion Tranzeetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tranzeetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,999 trillion Aureuses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,948 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, Princeps lights cigars with a hundred-Aureus bill, and psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tranzeet's national animal is the Common Swift, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tranzeet is ranked 31,828^th in the world and 2,110^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
