The Knight-errant of Quixote is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sancho Panza with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.882 billion Dons Quixotes 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Mancha. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.2%.

The frighteningly efficient quixotic economy, worth a remarkable 2,892 trillion Cervanteses 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 145,479 Cervanteses, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

There's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, Sancho Panza's perky ego is the talk of the town, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quixote's national animal is the Rocinante, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is chivalry.

Quixote is ranked 7,140^th in the world and 12^th in Seinfeld for Most Patriotic, with 51.87 flags saluted per person per day.
