The Qasimid Kingdom of Qahtan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Al-Mansur IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.541 billion Qahtanis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azal. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Qahtani economy, worth a remarkable 1,846 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 216,189 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, private clinics eagerly advertise their trivial specialties, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime is totally unknown. Qahtan's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Qahtan is ranked 166,084^th in the world and 5,662^nd in Osiris for Most Armed, with 0.31 weapons per person.
