The Republic of Quintoine is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Liam Tremblay with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.131 billion Quintoi are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quintoine City. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Quintoi economy, worth 783 trillion Ques a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,877 Ques, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A soldier's body is a temple, naval patrols only last nine months, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, and street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quintoine's national animal is the Boreal Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cyanism.

Quintoine is ranked 306,503^rd in the world and 77^th in Aceon for Nicest Citizens, with 0.82 average smiles per day.
