Turalia, officially the Kingdom of Turalia (Lõna: Turaalia kuningriik; Pohjsen: Turalja kuningaskunta; Zakodski: Królestwo Turalskie), is a sovereign state in West Herian. It is a coastal country with cold, vast plains and boreal forests. The people of Turalia are multicultural and multilingual, speaking three state-recognized languages.

Oppressive policies targeting minorities are among many other human rights abuses committed by the Turalian government. Commonly reported incidents involve extrajudicial killings, illegal detention, and child slavery.
