The Federation of Qasantin is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 113 million Qasantinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, although Education, Welfare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Industry and Environment are ignored. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The Qasantinian economy, worth 6.15 trillion Algis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,424 Algis, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, and East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Qasantin. Crime is almost non-existent. Qasantin's national animal is the Condor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Qasantin is ranked 69,319^th in the world and 1,646^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,907.58 Standard Monetary Units.
