Taureolt is an industrium based in Eastern Europe, led by a King and a Feudal system that treats its people in a fair and just manner.  Dissent is not silenced.  Unfortunately, the King often issues edicts against certain guilds in order to squash rebellions or drug trafficking or white slavery.  Taureolt is landlocked and surrounded by Socialist nations, but does not have a strong socialist leaning.  Capitalism is favored over Mercantilism.  The Irronian tribesmen whose land was won from by the Taureolteki are treated with autonomy in the south.  AIDS is not a major problem, but radiation poisoning in babies is.  The national language is Taureolti, and is not Indo-European.  It is often mis-classified as Finno-Ugric.
