The Error 404 Nation Not Found of Idzequitch is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Zacharias Quinn with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.222 billion Quitchers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zequaya. The average income tax rate is 87.3%.

The strong Idzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,754 trillion Glimmunds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,786 Glimmunds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idzequitch's national animal is the Iniqa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Idzequitch is ranked 286,637th in the world and 1st in Shush for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.49 kickbacks per hour.
