The Communist Utopia of Travislavania is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.677 billion Travislavanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vussal. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Travislavanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,516 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,811 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, and the face of Joseph Stalin is a permanent feature of the Vussal skyline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Travislavania's national animal is the siberian bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stalinism.

Travislavania is ranked 271,279^th in the world and 10,096^th in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
