The Federation of Quinga is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.83 billion Quingans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Quingan economy, worth a remarkable 3,638 trillion francs a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 229,824 francs, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quinga's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Quinga is ranked 288,390^th in the world and 22^nd in The Allied States for Safest, scoring 4.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
