The Republic of 4th Questas is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory vegetarianism, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 260 million 4th Questasians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Healthcare, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Social Policy is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The very strong 4th Questasian economy, worth 16.2 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 62,153 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 199,070 per year while the poor average 14,726, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

The current TV ratings hit is "Keeping Up With The 4th Questasians", cars have been banned, government contracted tax collectors often 'accidentally' over-charge citizens and skim the surplus, and a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 4th Questas's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

4th Questas is ranked 281,974^th in the world and 21^st in the Quppet Storage for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.69 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
