The 2nd Jewellian Republic of Torkrius is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Gavison Tarma with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.898 billion Torkans 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jewella. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Torkan economy, worth 450 trillion Bams 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 115,602 Bams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torkrius's national animal is the Kingfisher, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Torkrius is ranked 12,556^th in the world and 61^st in The Frontier Sea for Safest, scoring 117.41 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
