The Republic of Queens Bluff is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by the Grand Burgher with a fair hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.341 billion Queensians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Queen's Bluff. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.3%.

The powerhouse Queens Bluffian economy, worth a remarkable 1,172 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 140,588 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 415,553 per year while the poor average 37,381, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

College-level writing classes are taught by undergraduate editors of the school newspaper, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Queensians make research institutes rich, foreign workers are flooding in as marks flood out, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Queens Bluff's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Queens Bluff is ranked 230,721^st in the world and 9,836^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
