The Republic of 2nd Questas is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 386 million 2nd Questasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.

The strong 2nd Questasian economy, worth 21.3 trillion uwus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,197 uwus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, most academic research has ground to a halt, music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs, and citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em". Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 2nd Questas's national animal is the uwu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

2nd Questas is ranked 240,686^th in the world and 20^th in the Quppet Storage for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
