The Emirate of Big Men is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Biggest Man with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.23 billion Big Men are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient a Big Man economy, worth 682 trillion Minted Mens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 161,448 Minted Mens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,471,509 per year while the poor average 1,981, a ratio of 742 to 1.

The term "Native Big Man" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority, the monarchy has adopted absolute primogeniture, fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality, and the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Big Men's national animal is the Man, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mansculinism.

Big Men is ranked 119,382^nd in the world and 4,629^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 4.23 billion capita.
