The Disputed Territories of Status Quotient is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.076 billion Status Quotientians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.7%.

The Status Quotientian economy, worth 46.3 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 43,003 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Status Quotient's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Status Quotient is ranked 283,854^th in the world and 1^st in Bullseye Valley for Largest Black Market, with 57.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
