The Colony of QEI Station is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.449 billion QEI Stationians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong QEI Stationian economy, worth 90.3 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,343 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 220,677 per year while the poor average 12,716, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. QEI Station's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

QEI Station is ranked 243,952^nd in the world and 6^th in Queen Elizabeth Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 597.89 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
