The Duchy of Touraine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Duke Alphonse II with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.787 billion Tourainais are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tours. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.9%.
The very strong Tourainais economy, worth a remarkable 1,180 trillion livres a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 54,166 livres, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,467 per year while the poor average 13,743, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Touraine has designated Tours as its capital city, Duke Alphonse II has just been declared ruler of Touraine in an international press conference, Roman Catholicism has been named as Touraine's national religion, and billions of livres are being poured into a space program. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Touraine's national animal is the dog and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Touraine is ranked 172,665th in the world and 8th in Aquitaine for Most Stationary, with 92.67006569112 days.
