The Democratic Republic of Queer Country is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 745 million Queer Countryians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gayville. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Queer Countryian economy, worth 53.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 72,007 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every worker receives exactly the same pay regardless of productivity, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, too many developers spoil the codebase, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Queer Country's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Queer Country is ranked 217,268^th in the world and 308^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 745 million capita.
