The People's Republic of Quperaqa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairman Pomar with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.754 billion Quperaqans 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kulftimmer. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Quperaqan economy, worth 210 trillion neoraalds 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 120,289 neoraalds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, the wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, and Quperaqa is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quperaqa's national animal is the beachturtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Quperaqa is ranked 4,961st in the world and 3rd in Novo Brasil for Safest, scoring 131.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
