The Empire of Turkishtan is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The devout population of 79 million Turks are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Industry isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Turkishtanian economy, worth 2.93 trillion Osmanlı Lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,091 Osmanlı Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turkishtan's national animal is the Boz kurt.
Turkishtan is ranked 44,598th in the world and 517th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
