The Borderlands of Taurgur is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Presence of Taurgur with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.188 billion the Losts are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Healthcare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Heart of Taurgur. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Taurgurian economy, worth a remarkable 2,233 trillion deaths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 147,048 deaths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Playground injuries are considered academic progress, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by coughing revolutionaries, and environmentalists have found an unusual ally in soldiers of fortune. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Taurgur's national animal is the lost soul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suicide by Dissapearance.
Taurgur is ranked 21,475th in the world and 67th in Forest for Most Stationary, with 1,545.21628883872 days.
