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. Pohjsen is the predominant language while Lõna and Zakodski vary recognition both nationally and regionally, usually suppressed to promote unity. 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.

Attempts to democratize Turalia in the 1960s failed its bid to create a strong political movement for reform to solve major problems, centered around land reform. Unchanged since 867 CE, Turalia is one of the oldest feudal states in the world. Manorialism ties the largest rural estates and population to the powerful, landed nobility. The Maapäivät, established as the country's first democratic parliament in 1964, has since grew increasingly plutocratic and has consolidated political dynasties, most of whom are allies of the nobility.

Turalia is a developing country with a lower-middle income economy. Major industries are either state-owned or controlled by a monopoly. The country's major trading partner is NAME. The majority of employment is provided by the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Despite the establishment of a public school system, free healthcare, and universal college education, most public services are actually overwhelmed due to the lack of funding and capacity. Overurbanization has forced migrants and the urban poor to live in overpopulated slums in the cities. Wide income disparities and limited economic opportunities left the government with no choice but to subsidize citizens to work and live abroad, utilizing dual citizenship and taxing remittances.
