static QMap doesn't seem to remain static (or at least keeps becoming empty)

Why make it static? Make it global but non-static. If you make it static, it'll only be available in one compilation unit and you'll need to create two global functions to access it from other compilation units. Try this instead:

In one of implementation files:

namespace ExaltedData {
  QMap<QString,NatureData> natures;
}

namespace ExaltedData {
  QMap<QString,NatureData> natures;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and in every file which needs to use it add:

namespace ExaltedData {
  extern QMap<QString,NatureData> natures;
}

namespace ExaltedData {
  extern QMap<QString,NatureData> natures;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

That worked like a charm, although it does seem a bit counterintuitive.
