The Disputed Territories of Qizerra is a tiny, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9 million Qizerrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Qizerran economy, worth 293 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 32,571 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and kindhearted Qizerrans generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qizerra's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Qizerra is ranked 270,335^th in the world and 573^rd in Horizon for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,752.29 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
