The Republic of Turtleclan is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 116 million Shellians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.
The Turtleclanian economy, worth 5.47 trillion shellcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,156 shellcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion, Harry Potter books are banned, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, and education is transforming people into first-rate snobs. Crime is relatively low. Turtleclan's national animal is the Turtle.
Turtleclan is ranked 301,473rd in the world and 4,782nd in Suspicious for Largest Populations, with 116 million capita.
