The State of HQ is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.993 billion HQians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong HQian economy, worth 647 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,100 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,843 per year while the poor average 1,832, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, HQ has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of HQ in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. HQ's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HQ is ranked 301,579th in the world and 294th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
