The Democratic Kapitalizt State of Queroquestan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Neil M Reagan with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.924 billion Queroquans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Queoriapolis. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Queroquan economy, worth 318 trillion Quezoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,595 Quezoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, the government is spending billions of taxpayer Quezoes to support "struggling" industries, and one can walk from one side of Queoriapolis to the other without setting foot on Queroquan soil. Crime is totally unknown. Queroquestan's national animal is the Golden Bird of Paradise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Querolism.

Queroquestan is ranked 9,312th in the world and 442nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 422.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
