The Democratic States of Turn Left is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its burgeoning kiwi population. The democratic population of 2.199 billion Turn Leftians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Turn Leftian economy, worth 67.1 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,494 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, surveillance cameras are banned, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is totally unknown. Turn Left's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Turn Left is ranked 174,822^nd in the world and 2^nd in Liberal Regions for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 174.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
