The Serene State of Quebecshire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grandmaster and Speaker of Parliament with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 11.26 billion Quebecshirites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quebecshire City. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Quebecshirite economy, worth 947 trillion Quebecshirite Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,139 Quebecshirite Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, and commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quebecshire's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Quebecshire is ranked 44,289^th in the world and 56^th in The League for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 94.59 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
