The Republic of Quicksan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chester Ward with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.794 billion Quicksanian's are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Boomdox. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Quicksanian economy, worth 198 trillion Quickers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,190 Quickers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, women should never trust a man who turns up to a first date with an open bottle in his hand, laws are littered with references to cheese, and it is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quicksan's national animal is the Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Quicksan is ranked 289,952^nd in the world and 1,285^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.06 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
