The Holy Blue Commonwealth of Toerana is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister James Stevens with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 800 million Toeranans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eboracum. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Toeranan economy, worth 67.5 trillion Toeranan Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,371 Toeranan Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, it is rumoured that Prime Minister James Stevens uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions, and the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toerana's national animal is the Llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Toerana is ranked 8,035^th in the world and 1^st in Voltarium for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,156.33 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
