The Republic of Quebecshire VIII is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning cow population. The quiet, industrious population of 6.059 billion Quebecshire VIIIians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Quebecshire VIIIian economy, worth 178 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,413 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quebecshire VIII's national animal is the cow.
