The Republic of 7th Questas is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 125 million 7th Questasians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The very strong 7th Questasian economy, worth 8.25 trillion cards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 66,024 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,786 per year while the poor average 14,288, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, high school bands practice by moonlight, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 7th Questas's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

7th Questas is ranked 25,128^th in the world and 1^st in the Quppet Storage for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,873.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
