The Empire of Qinglang is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Xiè Wêndá with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.024 billion Qinglangeses 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jinxiang. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Qinglangian economy, worth 570 trillion Dokthais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,677 Dokthais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's all white elephants on parade, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime is totally unknown. Qinglang's national animal is the Phaya Naga Thai Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Chinese.

Qinglang is ranked 213,781^st in the world and 262^nd in Carcassonne for Largest Black Market, with 385 billion Standard Monetary Units.
