The Military Junta of Quobadiz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairwoman-General Badiza Quobadizan with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.285 billion Quobadizis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Kensington. The average income tax rate is 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Quobadizish economy, worth a remarkable 3,371 trillion Doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 174,822 Doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quobadiz's national animal is the Sea Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fundamental Church of Violet.

Quobadiz is ranked 187,293rd in the world and 8th in Axixican Confederation for Most Stationary, with 66.90664467972 days.
