The State of FQ is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.851 billion Queites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong FQian economy, worth 661 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 35,095 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 238,603 per year while the poor average 1,885, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and FQ has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. FQ's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FQ is ranked 140,579th in the world and 216th in Omega Prime for Most Stationary, with 205.17791035272 days.
