The Republic of Turgondolin is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning scarab population. The devout population of 4.937 billion Turgondolinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Turgondolinian economy, worth 158 trillion sands a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,196 sands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turgondolin's national animal is the scarab.
Turgondolin is ranked 193,502nd in the world and 4,921st in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 317.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
