The Holy Golden turtle of Quebec-and-Maritimes is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by turtle with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.253 billion turtles love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of turtle city. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong turtle economy, worth 74.5 trillion turtlecoins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,430 turtlecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quebec-and-Maritimes's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is yuserism.
