The Empty Void of Q w e r t y is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Aluf with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.637 billion Q w e r tians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NORAD. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Q w e r t yian economy, worth a remarkable 3,406 trillion Denaris a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,120 Denaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Q w e r t y's national animal is the Hokie Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Capitalism.

Q w e r t y is ranked 167,646th in the world and 2,974th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 107.97891006012 days.
