The Free Land of TorNaGul is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Luca Aeris with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.542 billion TorNaGulians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libria. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient TorNaGulian economy, worth a remarkable 5,762 trillion yeasts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 209,232 yeasts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The temple hierarchy have found that endorsements are even more lucrative than indulgences, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, and even secular TorNaGulians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TorNaGul's national animal is the blub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of the Void.

TorNaGul is ranked 217,347th in the world and 3,499th in the Rejected Realms for Most Conservative, scoring 49.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
