The Republic of Quiggle is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning quiggle population. The quiet, industrious population of 18.043 billion Quiggleans 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, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Quigglean economy, worth 699 trillion quigs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,767 quigs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and most citizens in Quiggle are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quiggle's national animal is the quiggle.

Quiggle is ranked 176,269^th in the world and 2^nd in Covfefe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,283.54 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
