The Federation of Quetesia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 166 million Quetesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Quetesian economy, worth 6.08 trillion Qwerties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,619 Qwerties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quetesia's national animal is the Quetesian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quetesia is ranked 33,111^th in the world and 3^rd in The Allied Nations for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
