The Theocracy of Quistonix is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, triple-decker prams, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 411 million Quistonixians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Quistonixian economy, worth 19.8 trillion alms a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Gambling, 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 48,056 alms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to blow things up, Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', ritual mummification is making a comeback, and the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quistonix's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quistonix is ranked 21,902^nd in the world and 37^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,168.92 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
