The Federation of Quandania is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings. The cynical population of 113 million Quandanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Quandanian economy, worth 4.48 trillion Petorians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,632 Petorians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, and museum employees look down on short people. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quandania's national animal is the Kauai O'O, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quandania is ranked 70,614^th in the world and 759^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 612.98 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
