The Islamic Sultanate of Quartararo is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Raditya Pratama with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 857 million Quetres 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rahmatia. The average income tax rate is 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Quetrean economy, worth 96.3 trillion Rupiahs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,424 Rupiahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers, citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. 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 51,630th in the world and 105th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Average Incomes, with 112,424.05 Standard Monetary Units.
