The Emirate of Qatar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, triple-decker prams, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.284 billion Qatarians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doha. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Qatarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,912 trillion Riyals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 188,988 Riyals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,603,976 per year while the poor average 4,019, a ratio of 399 to 1.

Freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, the national shouting contest has become an important part of the electoral process, Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, and Brasilistan has been announced as the nation's newest colony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Qatar's national animal is the Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Qatar is ranked 10,284^th in the world and 1^st in New York for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
