The Colony of AQ33 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 17.909 billion AQ33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 14.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient AQ33ian economy, worth 727 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,625 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. AQ33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

AQ33 is ranked 79,174^th in the world and 1^st in Al Qaeda for Largest Black Market, with 4.50 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
