The Black Hole of Qathonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dot with an even hand, and notable for its burgeoning fox population. The hard-working population of 24.04 billion Qathonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Black. The average income tax rate is 16.7%.

The thriving Qathonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,151 trillion Stars a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 47,913 Stars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Daily newspapers are permitted to run only pro-government stories, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, Dot has just been declared ruler of Qathonia in an international press conference, and Qathonia has designated Black as its capital city. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Qathonia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nihilism.

Qathonia is ranked 244,954^th in the world and 5^th in Arson for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
