The Democratic Republic of Quantum Bedalgueze is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-working population of 494 million Bedalguezes 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 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 East Khyine. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Bedalguezen economy, worth 46.0 trillion Tarnasola Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,025 Tarnasola Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners write "made in Quantum Bedalgueze" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quantum Bedalgueze's national animal is the Quantum Sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Quantum Bedalgueze is ranked 72,484^th in the world and 601^st in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 93,025.2 Standard Monetary Units.
