The Republic of Quebecshire XVIII is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The quiet, industrious population of 6.076 billion Quebecshire XVIIIians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Quebecshire XVIIIian economy, worth 187 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,786 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quebecshire XVIII's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quebecshire XVIII is ranked 138,543^rd in the world and 5,213^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
