The Empire of Turmir is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 123 million Turmirians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34.9%.
The thriving Turmirian economy, worth 9.76 trillion Xidides a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 79,351 Xidides, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, sports club owners are having a moneyball, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. 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 54,039th in the world and 2,476th in Lazarus for Most Conservative, scoring 75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
