The Holy Red Democracy of Transvolcanic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lasagna with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.796 billion Transvolcanic peoples hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkansfort. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Transvolcanician economy, worth 256 trillion Boxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 142,737 Boxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who write letters to Santa Claus end up in straitjackets, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Transvolcanic's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mäfîą dėł pøtërē.

Transvolcanic is ranked 19,887^th in the world and 656^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,317.13 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
