The Federal Republic of Tortumya is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Büşra Babacan with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.417 billion Tortumyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tortumkale. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tortumyan economy, worth 147 trillion koraks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,395 koraks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, nobody likes bad boys any more, believers who wear their faith on their sleeves make easy targets in hostile areas, and pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tortumya's national animal is the Bezoar Mountain Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Göktengrism.

Tortumya is ranked 47,137^th in the world and 51^st in The Western Isles for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 190.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
