The United States of Quincy is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Arnold Landon with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, rampant corporate plagiarism, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.732 billion Quincois enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hancock FC. The average income tax rate is 6.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Quincois economy, worth 354 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 95,014 Quincois Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

When people want to start a family the government helps them planet carefully, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, President Arnold Landon goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Quincy's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quincy is ranked 38,665^th in the world and 482^nd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 182.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
