The Ancient City of Al-Iskandariyya is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.458 billion Al-Iskandariyyans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 12.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Iskandariyyan economy, worth a remarkable 2,503 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,678 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

New "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, and citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al-Iskandariyya's national animal is the Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Al-Iskandariyya is ranked 234,809th in the world and 7,424th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.13926991308 days.
