The Unified Federacy of Quetesia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by the President with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.493 billion Quetesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centralia. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quetesian economy, worth 391 trillion Quetesian Qwerties a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,126 Quetesian Qwerties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A third of Quetesians are e-certified CEOs, the wheel has been patented by at least a hundred people, this year's comedy award has left mothers-in-law seething, and the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quetesia's national animal is the Quetesian Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Quetesia is ranked 293,988^th in the world and 2^nd in Centralasia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
