The Sultanate of Mahdah is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Qaysar Sultan with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.427 billion Mahdavians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mahdah. The average income tax rate is 36.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mahdavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,828 trillion Mahdari Dinars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,676 Mahdari Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mahdah's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zenitharianism.

Mahdah is ranked 54,762^nd in the world and 34^th in Greater Dienstad for Highest Poor Incomes, with 51,956.17 Standard Monetary Units.
