The Federation of Qude is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Willson XIV with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.24 billion Qudeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qude DC. The average income tax rate is 49.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Qudean economy, worth 118 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 95,520 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Willson XIV is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qude's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Qude is ranked 76,791^st in the world and 8^th in The waters for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,709.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
