The Islamic Sultanate of Quartararo is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Raditya Pratama with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 833 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, socially-minded, 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 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Quetrean economy, worth 93.9 trillion Rupiahs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,736 Rupiahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, everybody's got wood thanks to Raditya Pratama, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. 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 33,273^rd in the world and 72^nd in The Frontier Sea for Highest Poor Incomes, with 71,161.32 Standard Monetary Units.
