The Arctic Republic of Qvait is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mac Knight with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.597 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qvait's national animal is the snow tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the euro.

Qvait is ranked 65th in European Union and 50,651st in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 130 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
