The Matriarchy of Torilandish is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 599 million Torilandishians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 71.8%.

The sizeable but inefficient Torilandishian economy, worth 23.5 trillion Torishes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,158 Torishes , and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torilandish's national animal is the Shorthaired Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Torilandish is ranked 258,018^th in the world and 266^th in Lesbian for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.3 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
