The Republic of Quisp is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Romulus Cooper with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 10.453 billion Quispians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quispopolis. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Quispian economy, worth a remarkable 1,353 trillion Quibbits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,448 Quibbits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, the blind lead the blind in social welfare, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quisp's national animal is the Mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religious pluralism.
Quisp is ranked 12,143rd in the world and 728th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 369.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
