The Free Land of Kebecois is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Max the Magnificent with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.447 billion Kebecoisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maximilia. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kebecoisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,171 trillion gold francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 253,604 gold francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, and some Kebecoisian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kebecois's national animal is the snowy owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kebecois is ranked 2,541st in the world and 36th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
