The Kingdom of Turis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Iger II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.507 billion Turisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashpoint. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Turisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,860 trillion polar globes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 171,532 polar globes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. Turis's national animal is the bovine anteater, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Turis is ranked 254,754th in the world and 32nd in Antarctica for Most Patriotic, with 1.64 flags saluted per person per day.
