The Freedom of Religion Act (FRA) of 2012 protected the rights of citizens to allow them to decide and practice their religion freely. In a 2014 survey, 91.5% of the Qvaitican population is Judeo-Christian, practicing Jewish (33.7%) or Christian (57.8%) beliefs and 70.4% of Qvaiticans said that religion played a "very important role in their lives." In a 2014 Cascade poll, 65.2% of Qvaiticans said that they attended church weekly or almost weekly. Polls show that overall Qvaitican confidence in organized religion is rising, and show that the nation is becoming more religious.

According to a 2014 survey, 57.8% of adults identified themselves as Christian, Protestant denominations accounted for 20.1%, while Roman Catholicism, at 16.4%, was the largest individual denomination. The total reporting non-Judeo-Christian religions in 2014 was 4.6%. Other religions include Islam (1.6%), Buddhism (1.4%), and Hinduism (0.6%).

Qvait maintains relations with the member nations of the South Pacific. In October 2014, Qvait's foreign relations were tested as Sporaltryus declared war on Qvait on 24 October. The conflict resulted in creating allies of Awesomiasa, Kringalia, and Ryccia.

Having once had its capital in the Arctic region, Qvait continues to have friendly ties with members of the European Union. The nation of Qvait has formal diplomatic relations with Miraco because of airQvait, who has a friendly competition with Air Miraco. However, the nation's relations with Os Corelia is rocky after the 2013 IS3 corruption scandal. On 24 September, 2014, the government of Qvait under Dmitri Buzinsky asked for Os Corelia's forgiveness.
