The Nawab's Empire of Uzy Khan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nawab Uzy Khan with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 3.935 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bait-ul-Nawab. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, and citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uzy Khan's national animal is the Nawabi Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Islam, and its currency is the Aa'na.

Uzy Khan is ranked 113th in RORMS and 99,369th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -37 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
