The Kaiserreich of Tuirsland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm I with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, aversion to nipples, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.216 billion Tuirslanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlsburg. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tuirslandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,583 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 319,507 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm I. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuirsland's national animal is the Bämburg Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tuirsland is ranked 18,138th in the world and 3rd in Gypsy Lands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,351.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
