The Nomadic Peoples of Tuirat is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.108 billion Tuiratians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tuiratian economy, worth 163 trillion Tuirats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,195 Tuirats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, citizens try to ignore gruesome pictures of decaying teeth printed on their soda cans, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports. Crime is totally unknown. Tuirat's national animal is the Camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Tuirat is ranked 136,838th in the world and 98th in Anteria for Most Patriotic, with 11.34 flags saluted per person per day.
