The Dominion of Qubit is a huge, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 631 million Qubitians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Qubitian economy, worth 24.2 trillion Qubits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,305 Qubits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, the might of the entire Qubitian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, and leisure is a crime in ski towns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qubit's national animal is the Quantom Computer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Qubit is ranked 163,935th in the world and 18th in Shots Puppets for Most Developed, scoring 54.66 on the Human Development Index.
