The Lebonbon of Republic of Quandale is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 596 million Quandingleans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quandinglean City. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Quandinglean economy, worth 59.2 trillion Dingelians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 99,407 Dingelians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Quandale's national animal is the Quandale Scooby, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Republic of Quandale is ranked 42,656^th in the world and 3^rd in The Realm of Aussies for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 168.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
