The Republic of Qubti is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Hafez Farid Sobhy with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.652 billion Qubtians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iskandariya. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Qubtian economy, worth 290 trillion staters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,400 staters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The smell of tobacco is often smelt around legislative buildings across the nation, for 25 staters tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, and family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qubti's national animal is the asp, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

Qubti is ranked 79,151^st in the world and 22^nd in Western Atlantic for Largest Populations, with 5.65 billion capita.
