The Islamic Republic of Tukerestan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Mahmood Tarık with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.559 billion Turkerestanis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turkerabad. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Turkerestani economy, worth 651 trillion Tugriks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,003 Tugriks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', safety warnings are prohibited lest they give people ideas, and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tukerestan's national animal is the Turkeri Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Tukerestan is ranked 240,185^th in the world and 3,719^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -7.14 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
