The Borderlands of Qiya is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 380 million Qiyanij are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hello. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Qiyar economy, worth 48.1 trillion Erwulus a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 126,514 Erwulus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,147,464 per year while the poor average 1,628, a ratio of 704 to 1.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, and grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Qiya's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Qiya is ranked 327,821st in the world and 209th in Christians for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -3.16 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
