The Randveres fourth ICBM base of Area QX-81 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 39.692 billion Area QX-81ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Area QX-81ian economy, worth a remarkable 7,153 trillion IPER-s gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,235 IPER-s gold bars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Area QX-81's national animal is the Your worst nightmare, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Area QX-81 is ranked 211,835th in the world and 7th in The Backyard of Randvere for Most Patriotic, with 5.55 flags saluted per person per day.
