The United Provinces of Qetho is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.681 billion Qethoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Qethoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion Qethoers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,677 Qethoers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qetho's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Qetho is ranked 57,380^th in the world and 8^th in Aura for Most Secular, with 19.03 Atheism Rate.
