The United Socialist States of Torsein is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.639 billion Torseinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Torseinian economy, worth 735 trillion Golds a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,842 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
Torsein City is a police state during international summits, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the same 6639 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torsein's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Torsein is ranked 161,966th in the world and 4,191st in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 628.55 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
