The Commonwealth of Toerana is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 476 million Toeranans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eboracum. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Toeranan economy, worth 34.1 trillion Toeranan Pounds a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,633 Toeranan Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, graffiti graces every city's streets, and the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens. 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 60,649^th in the world and 13^th in Voltarium for Highest Drug Use, scoring 76.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
