The State of Travune is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.762 billion Travuneans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Travunean economy, worth a remarkable 1,106 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 62,314 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,693 per year while the poor average 5,394, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

All tariffs have been abolished, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Travune has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Travune's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Travune is ranked 94,580th in the world and 6th in Mississippi for Highest Food Quality, scoring 24.11 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
