The Colony of Turquoisea is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.11 billion Turquoiseans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The large government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Spirituality, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Administration and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The thriving Turquoisean economy, worth 736 trillion turquoise saars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 26,209 turquoise saars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 73,983 per year while the poor average 7,432, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, the government is reining in public spending, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime is moderate. Turquoisea's national animal is the turqouise dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Turquoisea is ranked 275,638^th in the world and 15^th in Ocean for Highest Poor Incomes, with 7,432.48 Standard Monetary Units.
