The Confederacy of Queephe Debal is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Head Of State Count Dooku with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed population of 3.209 billion Queephe Debalians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raxus. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Queephe Debalian economy, worth 376 trillion Credits a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,332 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Queephe Debal's national animal is the Nuclear cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Queephe Debal is ranked 58,005^th in the world and 4^th in Grandterre for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 75.91 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
