The Intellectual Republic of Quanturium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Raian Lee with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.436 billion Quanturiumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merli. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Quanturiumian economy, worth 349 trillion jems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 143,422 jems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, politicians spend a lot of time hanging around kids' playgrounds, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Quanturium as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quanturium's national animal is the Quanturium Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Downatian.

Quanturium is ranked 15,497^th in the world and 17^th in Philosophers for Most Cultured, scoring 96 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
