The Inglorious Sufetdom of Qart Qart Hadasht is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 584 million NeoPunics are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qart Tyre. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Punic economy, worth 67.0 trillion Shekels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,724 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qart Qart Hadasht's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Qart Qart Hadasht is ranked 38,767^th in the world and 16^th in RGBN for Most Patriotic, with 32.95 flags saluted per person per day.
