The Matriarchy of Telorina is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Igblora with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.878 billion Telorinans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravenshold. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Telorinan economy, worth 200 trillion Iglons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 106,764 Iglons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, the wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Telorina's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Telorina is ranked 4,077^th in the world and 39^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,022.88 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
