The Republic of Quotidian is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.325 billion Quotidianians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quotidianian economy, worth 289 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,495 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, it's considered bigoted to assume that a violent psychopath might be dangerous, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quotidian's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quotidian is ranked 270,948^th in the world and 901^st in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 37.79 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
