Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of 2nd Questas is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 342 million 2nd Questasians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 21.5%.

The 2nd Questasian economy, worth 18.1 trillion uwus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,883 uwus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, planespotters are emigrating in droves, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to 2nd Questas as a reminder of their "special relationship", and real estate agencies are being replaced by naval recruitment offices. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 2nd Questas's national animal is the uwu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

2nd Questas is ranked 152,178^th in the world and 12^th in the Quppet Storage for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 375.31 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
