The Unified Federacy of Quetesia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by the President with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 3.482 billion Quetesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centralia. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quetesian economy, worth 390 trillion Quetesian Qwerties a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,126 Quetesian Qwerties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A third of Quetesians are e-certified CEOs, the wheel has been patented by at least a hundred people, this year's comedy award has left mothers-in-law seething, and the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quetesia's national animal is the Quetesian Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Quetesia is ranked 21,603^rd in the world and 1^st in Centralasia for Most Cultured, scoring 86 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
