The Republic of Questas1a is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 472 million Questas1ans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Questas1an economy, worth 20.4 trillion 1Bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,233 1Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and the nation is the Quppet Storage's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Questas1a's national animal is the Pear1t, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Questas1a is ranked 217,383^rd in the world and 15^th in the Quppet Storage for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 46.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
