The Holy Empire of Turenne is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.5 billion Turenneans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The strong Turennean economy, worth a remarkable 1,175 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,843 Euros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,888 per year while the poor average 2,140, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Turenne's national animal is the Poodle.

Turenne is ranked 48,582^nd in the world and 1^st in United States Marine Corps for Highest Food Quality, scoring 34.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
