The United Provinces of Torcan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Orco Trakana with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 4.095 billion Torcanis enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyra. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Torcani economy, worth 613 trillion Garts a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,736 Garts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, all children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torcan's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is BANNED.

Torcan is ranked 12,054^th in the world and 1^st in The Ejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,826.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
