The Sultanate of Saddam Hussein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Camel population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.328 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. The average income tax rate is 19%. A very small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saddam Hussein's national animal is the Camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dinal.

Saddam Hussein is ranked 12th in Iraq and 43,321st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
