The Arling of Qal is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Arl Faradn vos Icaza with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.185 billion Qalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ofglen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.5%.

The strong Qalian economy, worth 829 trillion kamas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 58,485 kamas, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

International terrorists often get their weapons supply in Qal, some say Arl Faradn vos Icaza has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, the distracting décor lining the roads causes multiple pile-ups, and a glyph of Arl Faradn vos Icaza is worth a thousand letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qal's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Qal is ranked 60,041^st in the world and 1^st in Mata Utu for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,916.06 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
