The Imperial Confederation of Quffuffull is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by the Empress Bobwina with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.899 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 is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Defence are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quffuffull City. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, organ donation is compulsory, and a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quffuffull's national animal is the Snail, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Quffuffic Ergot.

Quffuffull is ranked 4,226th in The East Pacific and 100,125th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -41 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
