The Empire of Qrion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Qriaki III with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.997 billion Qrionians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qrii. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Qrionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,889 trillion Onos a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 240,889 Onos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Qrion's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The One.

Qrion is ranked 287,849^th in the world and 11,136^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -18.65 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
