The Democratic Republic of Quadraginta is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The democratic population of 465 million Quadragintans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novum Quadraginta. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The all-consuming Quadragintan economy, worth 44.5 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,632 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of owls and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, and tourists call Quadragintan beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quadraginta's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Quadraginta is ranked 53,962^nd in the world and 113^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 629.89 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
