The Mode of Transportation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pete Buttigieg with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 22.691 billion urbanists are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of downtown. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient urbanist economy, worth a remarkable 5,376 trillion infrastructures a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 236,965 infrastructures, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 675,554 per year while the poor average 66,282, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, the government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, there's a mortuary next to every urbanist restaurant, and human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Transportation's national animal is the high-speed rail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is smart growth.

Transportation is ranked 314,116^th in the world and 36^th in Seinfeld for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -17.89 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
