The Queendom of Quindel is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 212 million Quindelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Industry receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 33.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Quindelian economy, worth 7.12 trillion Quindel Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 33,597 Quindel Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Quindel's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Quindel is ranked 167,653rd in the world and 2nd in The Court of Rand for Most Extreme, scoring 17.67 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
