The Republic of Qlamia is a mid-sized, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 80 million Qlamians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Qlamian economy, worth 2.98 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 37,256 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, and government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qlamia's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Qlamia is ranked 116,744^th in the world and 572^nd in the Outback for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,618.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
