The Kingdom of Qantari is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 36 million Qantarians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.3%.

The strong Qantarian economy, worth 2.12 trillion flegs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 58,827 flegs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 278,376 per year while the poor average 7,353, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

Qantarians believe the only thing that will make you happy is being unhappy with who you are, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, a new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus, and modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qantari's national animal is the Qantarian Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Qantari is ranked 336,432^nd in the world and 5,433^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.55 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
