The Kingdom of Ultimate Q is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.394 billion Ultimate Qians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 78.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ultimate Qian economy, worth a remarkable 1,941 trillion Quses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,643 Quses, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pushy mums tell their kids to be doctors and engineers but steer them away from being penniless lawyers, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, and inheritance tax has recently been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ultimate Q's national animal is the Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ultimate Q is ranked 276,272nd in the world and 675th in Eye for Safest, scoring 7.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
