The Oppressed Peoples of Detek Lunesta Qok is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Supreme Almighty Ruling Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 782 million Qokists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weron Kerute Qok. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Detek Lunesta Qokian economy, worth 32.4 trillion Qoks 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. 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 41,485 Qoks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, and the Federal Council of Detek Lunesta Qok has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Detek Lunesta Qok's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Detek Lunesta Qok is ranked 25,738th in the world and 375th in Europe for Safest, scoring 111.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
