The Republic of Quantix is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 604 million Quantixians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virelion. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Quantixian economy, worth 57.4 trillion us dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,981 us dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Edutainment video games are taking Quantix's students to the next level, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, the economy is green and the air is black, and getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quantix's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Quantix is ranked 184,916^th in the world and 2,824^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 52.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
