The Principality of Qatarunya is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 527 million Catalins are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upper Diagonal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Qatarunyan economy, worth 56.0 trillion Croats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 106,334 Croats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 511,784 per year while the poor average 12,873, a ratio of 39.8 to 1.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, billions are being spent on a new island airport, Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qatarunya's national animal is the Llopi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Qatarunya is ranked 44,715^th in the world and 272^nd in Europeia for Most Developed, scoring 78.77 on the Human Development Index.
