The United Socialist States of Loquillan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Elle Martin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.028 billion Loquillanos love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loquillan City. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Loquillano economy, worth 48.5 trillion loques a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Retail. Average income is 47,183 loques, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Loquillan has designated Loquillan City as its capital city, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, Elle Martin has just been declared ruler of Loquillan in an international press conference, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loquillan's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Loquillan is ranked 34,114^th in the world and 3^rd in The Night Witches for Smartest Citizens, with 45.32 quips per hour.
