The Liubo Mountain Clan Leader of Qilou is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.259 billion Qilouans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Qilouan economy, worth 175 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,113 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Qilou, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, protests are illegal, and the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Qilou City skyline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qilou's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Qilou is ranked 197,539th in the world and 1,745th in Remembrance for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
