The Democratic Republic of Quadraginta is a very large, safe nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 339 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. The average income tax rate is 33.9%.

The powerhouse Quadragintan economy, worth 29.7 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,582 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad, and stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 301,945^th in the world and 141^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.58 kickbacks per hour.
