The Confederacy of QuietNation3 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 17.066 billion QuietNation3ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped QuietNation3ian economy, worth 670 trillion Shiny Green Things 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, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms 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 39,292 Shiny Green Things, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and movie references are legally admissible in court. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. QuietNation3's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

QuietNation3 is ranked 112,048^th in the world and 2^nd in Factory 1 for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,362.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
