The District of Ouaker is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.561 billion Ouakerians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Ouakerian economy, worth 225 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,631 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, aeroplanes have been converted into housing units after all air travel was outlawed, angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ouaker's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ouaker is ranked 43,938th in the world and 1st in Empire of Brazil for Safest, scoring 104.7 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
