The United Kingdom of Quaniri is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, unlimited-speed roads, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 246 million Quanirians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 24.7%.

The thriving Quanirian economy, worth 17.2 trillion papis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,890 papis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Quaniri City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Quaniri's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Quaniri is ranked 189,607^th in the world and 4,616^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
