The Dragon State of Quosk is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 22.686 billion Quoskians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Quoskian economy, worth 208 trillion Roblevs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,188 Roblevs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, surveillance cameras are banned, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quosk's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quosk is ranked 208,381^st in the world and 2^nd in Grindr for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 230.67 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
