The Province of Qaimong is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by General Lewis with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.223 billion Qaimong enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qaimong City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.
The very strong Qaimongi economy, worth 85.0 trillion Solaris a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,486 Solaris, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,538 per year while the poor average 10,831, a ratio of 26.8 to 1.
General Lewis reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, General Lewis has just been declared ruler of Qaimong in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Qaimong's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Qaimong is ranked 80,117th in the world and 14th in The Celestial Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
