The Community of Quailluna is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Quackels with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 8.038 billion Quailluna citizens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rahulsuman. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Quaillunan economy, worth 597 trillion Zimps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,341 Zimps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quailluna's national animal is the Darc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quailluna is ranked 33,722nd in the world and 1,680th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
