The Isolationist State of Quabbatica is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.277 billion Quabbatians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Quabbatian economy, worth 477 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 29,315 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', when their backs are against the walls Quabbatians look out for gay men, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and it's all quiet on the western front. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quabbatica's national animal is the Iridescent Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Holy Quabbat.

Quabbatica is ranked 217,362nd in the world and 10th in Symmachia ton eikosi Eukladon naietaon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
