Qatar

"Long since past are the days of war and conflict. Now, we are a peaceful republic. We believe science is how we can be closest to our lord Allah, and through his grace we have gained knowledge and power"
-Mohammed Al-Basrah 
The Qatari Technocracy, more commonly known as Qatar, is a semi-oligarchic technocratic republic located in the Persian Sea between Junta Arabia and Iran. It is the tenth most powerful nation in the world, being ranked between Korea and Australia. The nation is heavily focused on science and technology, and the city of The Mirage, built in the north of the nation, is considered to be the technology capital of the world. The nation is consistently being ranked among one of the best places to live, often competing with Germany, East Africa, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Norway. 
Despite the high standards for the middle and upper class, the lower class of the nation live in a very unequal state. The poor often receive little to no outside help, and the poor districts of cities like Doha and Mirage are often overrun with drugs, crime, and ruin. The poor state of the lower class is also partially encouraged by the government, as it firstly creates incentive to study and get out of poverty, and because the lower class is well trained at manufacturing and for doing the less important or non-scientific jobs in the nation. This approach has been criticized by other nations, however, the Qatari government always responds by stressing the importance of the "self made man" and how "poverty creates incentive".
