The Holy Incorruptible Tsardom of TURTLESHROOM II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tsars Outtacountry and Vacant and Wip with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 21.659 billion TurtleShroomers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jonesboro. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient TurtleShroomian economy, worth a remarkable 9,665 trillion Scrips a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 446,275 Scrips, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, trade deals are born to the sound of a royal woman's anguished screams, millions of Scrips have been thrown into a project to find the cure for Mad Nangnang Disease, and commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TURTLESHROOM II's national animal is the Nangnang, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
TURTLESHROOM II is ranked 135th in the world and 1st in Valkia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 24,678.94 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
