The UAS's Concierge of Quirrelsit is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mrs Vespatiri Quirrel with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.476 billion Quirrelsitians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lago Azul Vespeiro. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quirrelsitian economy, worth 535 trillion Geos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,583 Geos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

When you fly on Air Quirrelsit you win a seat or you die, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, and terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quirrelsit's national animal is the Wasp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Union of Allied States.

Quirrelsit is ranked 16,475th in the world and 22nd in Union of Allied States for Most Developed, scoring 87.85 on the Human Development Index.
