The Empire of Kueidh is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 62 million Kueidhians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Kueidhian economy, worth 4.91 trillion kueics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 79,215 kueics, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 248,804 per year while the poor average 19,311, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

All gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry, and veterans in wheelchairs are left waist-deep in rice paddies to gather grain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Kueidh's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kueidh is ranked 264,562^nd in the world and 4,831^st in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 62.0 million capita.
