Quetesia

The Federation of Quetesia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its digital currency, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 186 million Quetesians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Quetesian economy, worth 6.87 trillion Qwerties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,930 Qwerties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young criminals are told they'll go to bed without supper if they do it again, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, and the government funds large training centres to turn Quetesian Tigers into functioning members of society. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quetesia's national animal is the Quetesian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quetesia is ranked 62,523rd in the world and 1st in The Allied Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 120.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
