The Strangely Socialist Monarchy of Turinese Empire is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Rex Luca I with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 13.008 billion Torinesis 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torino. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Turinese Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,924 trillion Boja Fausses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 147,969 Boja Fausses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, and emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turinese Empire's national animal is the Red Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Turinese Empire is ranked 13,113^th in the world and 260^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 102 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
