The Endless Supply of Quaaludes is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.864 billion Quaaludesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Quaaludesian economy, worth 554 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 143,465 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 674,322 per year while the poor average 18,161, a ratio of 37.1 to 1.

Parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Quaaludes's national animal is the great white shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quaaludes is ranked 26,586th in the world and 859th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,866.35 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
