The Republic of Qhgg is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.631 billion Qhggians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The very strong Qhggian economy, worth 247 trillion quid a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 68,209 quid, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,359 per year while the poor average 12,669, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, and a nation-wide cull of man-bear-pigs is in effect. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Qhgg's national animal is the man-bear-pig.
Qhgg is ranked 12,068th in the world and 1st in Greater Beefalo Bill for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,221.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
