The Dominion of Torisinia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.326 billion Torisinians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toruse. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The powerhouse Torisinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,015 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 82,353 Drachmas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 467,891 per year while the poor average 7,067, a ratio of 66.2 to 1.

Citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, and the Torisinia Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Torisinia's national animal is the Phoenix.

Torisinia is ranked 46,778th in the world and 1,268th in Osiris for Most Armed, with 2.9 weapons per person.
