The Republic of Turahk is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 4.65 billion Turahkians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Turahkian economy, worth 168 trillion Kanohis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,296 Kanohis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turahk's national animal is the Rahi.
Turahk is ranked 181,094th in the world and 4,239th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 358.19 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
