The 2nd Jewellian Republic of Torkrius is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Gavison Tarma with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.946 billion Torkans 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jewella. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Torkan economy, worth 485 trillion Bams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 123,130 Bams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Down payment blues in foreign nations are a thing of the past, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torkrius's national animal is the Kingfisher, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Torkrius is ranked 318,201^st in the world and 1,034^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.05 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
