The Nation of Turacedran is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tas with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.789 billion Turacedranians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Somnus. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The all-consuming Turacedranian economy, worth 918 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 93,783 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, money grows on trees, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and all you have to do is pray to get into Turacedran. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turacedran's national animal is the spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Turacedran is ranked 4,628^th in the world and 182^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,573.16 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
