The Federation of Trans-Skittles is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 16 million Trans-Skittlesians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The weak Trans-Skittlesian economy, worth 401 billion Skittleses a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,101 Skittleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, military spending is on the increase, the Unicorn is a protected species, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trans-Skittles's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Trans-Skittles is ranked 193,064th in the world and 196th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
