The Islamic Sultanate of Quartararo is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Raditya Pratama with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 845 million Quetres are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rahmatia. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Quetrean economy, worth 95.2 trillion Rupiahs 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 an impressive 112,695 Rupiahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, and it is illegal to liberate slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quartararo's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Quartararo is ranked 298,008^th in the world and 1,077^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
