The Dominion of Qados is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 23.376 billion Qadosians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Qadosian economy, worth 63.1 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 2,700 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qados's national animal is the rattlesnake.

Qados is ranked 259,664^th in the world and 5,019^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.19 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
