The Dominion of Qentazi is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Harren Froks with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.771 billion Qentazians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jupiter City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.
The strong Qentazian economy, worth 340 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,074 marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.
Any reference to a higher being is punished with public shaming, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qentazi's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Qentazi is ranked 47,620th in the world and 2,828th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
