The Lythorian Kingdom of Querteria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Klemens Askin with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.069 billion Querterians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rikasi City. The average income tax rate is 39.5%.

The strong Querterian economy, worth 111 trillion Querts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,124 Querts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Querteria's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Querteria is ranked 200,896th in the world and 109th in Aspen for Smartest Citizens, with 25.37 quips per hour.
