The Liston state of Transcoucasia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Alexandr corf with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 977 million Transcoucasians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The all-consuming Transcoucasian economy, worth 103 trillion Liston euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 106,088 Liston euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.
Nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, skyscrapers get built in just days, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transcoucasia's national animal is the Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Transcoucasia is ranked 255,028th in the world and 75th in eastern monarchist allience for Most Average, scoring 25.34 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
