The Democratic Republic of Queer Country is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 713 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 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Queer Countryian economy, worth 51.8 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 major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 72,632 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, only adults may purchase violent video games, a passport is literally priceless, and no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits. 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 20,442^nd in the world and 186^th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 113.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
