The People's Democratic Republic of Al-Aezam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ra'īs Kourosh Rasul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 15.324 billion Al-Aezamis 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markaz. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Aezami economy, worth a remarkable 4,877 trillion Al-Aezami Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 318,287 Al-Aezami Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public parks are littered with cigarette butts, no one is worried about government policies any more, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Al-Aezami officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime is totally unknown. Al-Aezam's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Al-Aezam is ranked 14,126^th in the world and 15^th in The Internationale for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,462.85 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
