The People's Democratic Republic of Al-Kubra is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Ahmed Ouyahia with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The humorless, devout population of 4.926 billion Kubrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of el-Behdja. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kubrian economy, worth 487 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,975 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, diaper sales are up, ritual mummification is making a comeback, and strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al-Kubra's national animal is the Fennec Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Al-Kubra is ranked 185,002^nd in the world and 26^th in Modorra for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 295.11 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
