The Federation of St Constance du Quechy is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 401 million St Constance du Quechyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish St Constance du Quechyian economy, worth 8.40 trillion Cortas 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. 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 20,943 Cortas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aims of top-secret St Constance du Quechyian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Constance du Quechy's national animal is the Hoatzin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

St Constance du Quechy is ranked 220,748^th in the world and 3,179^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 4.15 flags saluted per person per day.
