The Protectorate of 12th Questas is a mid-sized, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 82 million 12th Questasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong 12th Questasian economy, worth 5.35 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 65,223 marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, organ donation is compulsory, and the dartboard at the 12th Questasian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 12th Questas's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

12th Questas is ranked 235,095^th in the world and 11^th in the Quppet Storage for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,057.41 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
