The Canadien Republique of De Quebec is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 27.448 billion Quebecois are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, although Environment is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of De Quebec City. The average income tax rate is 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient De Quebecian economy, worth a remarkable 4,775 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 173,972 Canadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, and the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. De Quebec's national animal is the separatist, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

De Quebec is ranked 292,442^nd in the world and 60^th in One big Island for Lowest Crime Rates, with 6.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
