The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turtle Lion and Bird City. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Turtlandian economy, worth 33.1 trillion Shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,241 Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

They say that Turtle Lion and Birds made a dessert and called it peace, devotion to God is only skin-deep, even secular Turtle Lion and Birds are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos.
