The Queen's State of Quab is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The democratic population of 30.48 billion Quabians 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 minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education, Welfare, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 6.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Quabian economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,634 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded, the government is avowedly atheist, and Quab has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Quab's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Quab is ranked 240,282^nd in the world and 325^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
