The United Socialist States of QuothTheRaven is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 32 million QuothTheRavenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded QuothTheRavenian economy, worth 200 billion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 6,279 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Daring to agree with another politician is grounds for instant dismissal, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The QuothTheRaven City Times is sold out, and exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. QuothTheRaven's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

QuothTheRaven is ranked 253,453^rd in the world and 81^st in Ridgefield for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 475.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
