The Islamic Extremist Empire of Turussniya is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Islama Mashid Musalam IV with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 847 million Turuznis 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acusa-Nisa. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TuruSSniyAian economy, worth 77.3 trillion Ashes of Hope a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 91,258 Ashes of Hope, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, the nation leads the Rejected Realms in per capita stalking, and Islama Mashid Musalam IV has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turussniya's national animal is the Atanti-ql-Paneu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Turussniya is ranked 68,101^st in the world and 1,533^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 111.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
