Ultimate Q

The Zenith of Ultimate Q is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.475 billion Ultimate Qians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ultimate Qian economy, worth a remarkable 3,929 trillion Quses a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 271,450 Quses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Domestic fishermen fly the Ultimate Qian flag out of fear of being blown up, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and the nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ultimate Q's national animal is the Squid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ultimate Q is ranked 189,470th in the world and 1,346th in Eye for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
