Location: Eastern Islands of Dharma

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Quadrimmina is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Ellen Forge with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed population of 4.729 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Adana. The average income tax rate is 74%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quadrimmina's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dali's Patience.

Quadrimmina is ranked 51st in Eastern Islands of Dharma and 95,400th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -27 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
