The Allied States of Quantala is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.262 billion Quantalans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Quantalan economy, worth 304 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 71,352 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,966 per year while the poor average 18,104, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, military spending recently hit a new high, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Quantala's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Quantala is ranked 210,742^nd in the world and 1^st in Quantal for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
