The Islamic Sultanate of Quartararo is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Raditya Pratama with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 911 million Quetres are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rahmatia. The average income tax rate is 71.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Quetrean economy, worth 106 trillion Rupiahs a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,666 Rupiahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

It's all quiet on the western front, Raditya Pratama can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quartararo's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quartararo is ranked 316,456^th in the world and 1,096^th in The Frontier Sea for Nicest Citizens, with 0.51 average smiles per day.
