The Constitutional Monarchy of Quorin is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Roderick III with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 2.044 billion Quorinians 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verdura. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quorinian economy, worth 372 trillion Cragmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,434 Cragmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and the standard police uniform now comes with several colours of belt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quorin's national animal is the Alpine Ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Virtalis.

Quorin is ranked 83,516^th in the world and 1,021^st in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,607.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
