The Federation of Qude is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Willson XIV with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.307 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 Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qude DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Qudean economy, worth 129 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 98,980 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and the best rebates happen when the company no longer exists. Crime 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 19,625^th in the world and 4^th in The waters for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
