The Horrid Ruins of Turkducken is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.483 billion G'hadds 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Turkduckenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,954 trillion T'gasdts 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,420 T'gasdts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Turkduckenian pirates, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and lobster tastes best when it is red. Crime is totally unknown. Turkducken's national animal is the Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Turkducken is ranked 1,333^rd in the world and 61^st in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,267.12 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
