The Queen's State of Quaerite is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.366 billion Quaeriteans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.

The thriving Quaeritean economy, worth 992 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 26,570 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 79,002 per year while the poor average 7,006, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Quaerite has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Quaerite's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Quaerite is ranked 191,090^th in the world and 421^st in State for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
