The Dictatorship of Qarez is a small, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic government, or what there is of one, concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail industries.

Elections have been outlawed, military spending recently hit a new high, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is moderate. Qarez's national animal is the scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.
