The Dominion of Trainmaster is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Director Ton with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 16.383 billion Passengers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Trainmasterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,031 trillion Monies a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,980 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Trainmaster's hospitals, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trainmaster's national animal is the Light Train.

Trainmaster is ranked 132,714th in the world and 6th in Train Station for Most Developed, scoring 57.18 on the Human Development Index.
