The Kingdom of Turis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Iger II with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.09 billion Turisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashpoint. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Turisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,128 trillion polar globes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 171,388 polar globes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. Turis's national animal is the bovine anteater, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Turis is ranked 1,771st in the world and 3rd in Antarctica for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 98.91 Effective Tax Rate.
