The United States of Quincy is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Arnold Landon with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.661 billion Quincois enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt, liberal government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hancock FC. The average income tax rate is 4.7%.

The powerhouse Quincois economy, worth 334 trillion Quincois Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 91,488 Quincois Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and rumor has it that President Arnold Landon has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Quincy's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quincy is ranked 1,526^th in the world and 10^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 17,251.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
