The Dominion of Turel-Jirra is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.228 billion Turel-Jirrans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.

The strong Turel-Jirran economy, worth 65.8 trillion Ancient Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,583 Ancient Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,774 per year while the poor average 7,819, a ratio of 29.8 to 1.

Naval patrols only last nine months, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turel-Jirra's national animal is the Serpent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Turel-Jirra is ranked 180,510^th in the world and 103^rd in Shin Godzilla for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 315.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
