The State of Cote Quaqua is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.263 billion Cote Quaquans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The strong Cote Quaquan economy, worth a remarkable 1,188 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 68,869 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,229 per year while the poor average 3,700, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Cote Quaqua has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cote Quaqua's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cote Quaqua is ranked 267,171st in the world and 7th in Republic of Myanmar for Lowest Crime Rates, with 39.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
