The Republic of Kuaterra is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.459 billion Kuaterrans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Industry and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The strong Kuaterran economy, worth 730 trillion scudoes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,228 scudoes, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Kuaterra's national animal is the right whale, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Kuaterra is ranked 261,288^th in the world and 2^nd in United Island Nations for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 687.8 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
