The Republic of Turkiea is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 625 million Turkieans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Turkiean economy, worth 50.9 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,361 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, discarded pennies litter the streets, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turkiea's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Turkiea is ranked 222,079^th in the world and 158^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Populations, with 625 million capita.
