The Holy Empire of Qarez is a large, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 32 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Basket Weaving.
Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Qarez's national animal is the scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.
Qarez is the home country of the Qarez International News Network.
