The Commonwealth of Quijux is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 207 million Quijuxians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Quijuxian economy, worth 4.36 trillion inxons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,066 inxons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tree frog is a protected species, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quijux's national animal is the tree frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quijux is ranked 54,868^th in the world and 3^rd in Jexuldej for Nicest Citizens, with 17.01 average smiles per day.
