The Commonwealth of Queensridge is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its lack of airports, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 742 million Queensridgeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirai. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Queensridgean economy, worth 79.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,012 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Queensridgean citizenship in droves, and incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Queensridge's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Queensridge is ranked 286,401^st in the world and 15,887^th in Lazarus for Largest Black Market, with 30.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
