The Transportation Hub of Qlerb is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Raymos with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.668 billion Qlerbiqs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qlerb City. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Qlerbiq economy, worth 413 trillion Barbookins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,660 Barbookins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and Qlerbiqs submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qlerb's national animal is the Jub Jub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Qlerb is ranked 304,075^th in the world and 1^st in Polycule of Nations for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -15.81 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
