The Democratic Republic of Quelsa is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 301 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration industries.
The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quelsa's national animal is the Giant Weasel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the GP.
