The Arling of Qal is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Arl Faradn vos Icaza with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.816 billion Qalians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ofglen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.1%.

The strong Qalian economy, worth 504 trillion kamas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,271 kamas, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, the Qalian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qal's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Vezkelios.

Qal is ranked 101,753rd in the world and 9th in NationStates World Regions for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
