The Commonwealth of Quijux is a large, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 69 million Quijuxians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Quijuxian economy, worth 1.66 trillion inxons a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,101 inxons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied tree frog, and the only science is political science. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quijux's national animal is the tree frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quijux is ranked 52,439^th in the world and 286^th in Refugia for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
