The Queendom of Turasia is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.736 billion Turasians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Turasian economy, worth 282 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,276 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,589 per year while the poor average 3,088, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Turasia's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Turasia is ranked 122,432^nd in the world and 5^th in Sachsen Anhalt for Most Primitive, scoring -36.74 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
