The Oppressed Peoples of Detek Lunesta Qok is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 764 million Qokists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weron Kerute Qok. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Detek Lunesta Qokian economy, worth 31.2 trillion Qoks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 40,854 Qoks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War vets look after war animals, the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, a spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Detek Lunesta Qok's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Detek Lunesta Qok is ranked 246,688^th in the world and 1,126^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
