The United States of Quincy is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Roger Fitzergerald Holly with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.563 billion Quincois 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia FC. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quincois economy, worth 536 trillion United States Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,534 United States Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, and unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Quincy's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quincy is ranked 16,316^th in the world and 131^st in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 72,283.9 Standard Monetary Units.
