The Q of Q of Qerilla is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Q with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.02 billion Qerillans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Q. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Qerillan economy, worth a remarkable 1,193 trillion Nerds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,328 Nerds, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.
Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and the police double as repo men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qerilla's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Qerilla is ranked 4,402nd in the world and 115th in Nerdlandia for Most Patriotic, with 80.03 flags saluted per person per day.
