The Interstellar Commonwealth of Toerana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by BowShot118 Kyosson with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.709 billion Toeranans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luna. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toeranan economy, worth a remarkable 1,026 trillion Toeranan Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 87,654 Toeranan Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany BowShot118 Kyosson to meetings with foreign heads of state, and they say that BowShot118 Kyosson's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia. 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 Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is UniWardrobeism.

Toerana is ranked 31,881st in the world and 817th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
