Ultimate Q

The Kingdom of Ultimate Q is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.356 billion Ultimate Qians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 78.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ultimate Qian economy, worth a remarkable 1,931 trillion Quses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,454 Quses, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, the government believes in trickle-down happiness, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and former slaves find themselves being herded onto ships once more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ultimate Q's national animal is the Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ultimate Q is ranked 279,075th in the world and 805th in Eye for Most Primitive, scoring -326.18 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
