Turmir

The Empire of Turmir is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 347 million Turmirians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 44.6%.

The all-consuming Turmirian economy, worth 34.7 trillion Xidides a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 99,980 Xidides, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

A government program is underway to revitalize Turmir's beaches, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, centuries-old marble buildings are being torn down and replaced with corrugated steel wind tunnels, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turmir's national animal is the Raven.

Turmir is ranked 174,752nd in the world and 3,368th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 395.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
