The United Provinces of Torcan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Orco Trakana with a fair hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 4.193 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 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Torcani economy, worth 629 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 149,955 Garts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gift baskets often contain working nukes, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. 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 293,068th in the world and 3rd in The Ejected Realms for Least Corrupt Governments, with 76.99 percentage of bribes refused.
