The Republic of Doctor Quest is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.775 billion Doctor Questians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Doctor Questian economy, worth 230 trillion kronor 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 Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 34,008 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, and the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doctor Quest's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Doctor Quest is ranked 141,454^th in the world and 2^nd in Quest Research Institute for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 930.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
