The Emirate of Al Becakad is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 403 million Al Becakadis are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Al Becakadi economy, worth 31.5 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 78,280 Rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 294,872 per year while the poor average 14,487, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Al Becakad's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Al Becakad is ranked 81,129^th in the world and 2^nd in The Kingmen Empire for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 51.62 Whatever.
