The Republic of Quantix is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by tiger Lily with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 813 million Quantixians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virelion. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Quantixian economy, worth 80.8 trillion us dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,330 us dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The face of tiger Lily is a permanent feature of the Virelion skyline, artists are pillars of society, there are increasing complaints that male AI assistants have aggressive voices, and the Federal Council of Quantix has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quantix's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Quantix is ranked 171,315^th in the world and 2,029^th in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
