The Antarctic Islands of Qoutek is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.17 billion Qoutekians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 8.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Qoutekian economy, worth 64.2 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 54,842 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the judicial system legislates morality, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, and a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Qoutek's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Qoutek is ranked 97,776^th in the world and 7^th in The Caliawiian Circle for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 3,424.54 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
