The United States of Queztal is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by President Josef with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, zero percent divorce rate, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 808 million Queztalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Command City. The average income tax rate is 39.6%.

The all-consuming Queztalian economy, worth 72.0 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,070 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Queztal's national animal is the giant anteater, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Queztal is ranked 169,342^nd in the world and 4^th in The Social Republics of Idias for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,600.73 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
