The State of TQ is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.796 billion TQians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Healthcare, Industry, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong TQian economy, worth 677 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,929 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 341,136 per year while the poor average 3,317, a ratio of 102 to 1.

TQ has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of TQ in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. TQ's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

TQ is ranked 33,415^th in the world and 77^th in Omega Prime for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,896.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
