The Republic of Qaweritoyu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Cynthia Erickson with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, pith helmet sales, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 27.512 billion Qans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alton City. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The all-consuming Qaz economy, worth a remarkable 3,942 trillion Dropiras 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. 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 an impressive 143,295 Dropiras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Qans ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, a little love goes a long way claim Qaz news, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qaweritoyu's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Qaweritoyu is ranked 10,115^th in the world and 190^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 124,363.36 Standard Monetary Units.
