The Allied States of Qataeria is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 74 million Qataerians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.
The strong Qataerian economy, worth 4.41 trillion Qataers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,633 Qataers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Qataeria's national animal is the Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Qataeria is ranked 172,216th in the world and 347th in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 21.45 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
