The Province of Qinghai is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Winnie the Flu with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 16.175 billion Qinghaians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xining. The average income tax rate is 14.5%.

The strong Qinghaian economy, worth 820 trillion yuan a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 50,719 yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Qinghai has designated Xining as its capital city, Winnie the Flu has just been declared ruler of Qinghai in an international press conference, and Winnie Worship has been named as Qinghai's national religion. Crime is moderate. Qinghai's national animal is the bats, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Winnie Worship.

Qinghai is ranked 278,890^th in the world and 65^th in Terranova for Most Extreme, scoring 6.11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
