The People's Republic of Quinchamali is a large, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 56 million Quinchamalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Quinchamalian economy, worth 1.22 trillion Lire 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 21,852 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nudity is frowned upon, the death penalty has been reintroduced, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quinchamali's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quinchamali is ranked 32,596^th in the world and 708^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 869.15 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
