The Republic of QSX30 is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 489 million QSX30ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The thriving QSX30ian economy, worth 39.0 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 79,822 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,223 per year while the poor average 15,620, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

The new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, the nation is now proudly cholera-free, credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government, and the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. QSX30's national animal is the tiger.

QSX30 is ranked 301,694^th in the world and 16,400^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 6.92 Effective Tax Rate.
