The Military dictatorship of Qaratoprok is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Generalissimo Oğuz Khan Qarahan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.361 billion Qaraqs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zengesur. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Qaraq economy, worth 610 trillion Manats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,636 Manats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Zengesur, schoolchildren are divided over Generalissimo Oğuz Khan Qarahan's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and international trade is a sticky issue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qaratoprok's national animal is the Kongrul, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tengrism.

Qaratoprok is ranked 76,525^th in the world and 143^rd in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 387.3 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
