The Sultanate of Arnasas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Al Mahdi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.033 billion Arnasasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Aqsha. The average income tax rate is 88.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Arnasasian economy, worth 305 trillion Rups a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,150 Rups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, vacationing Arnasasians expect to be treated as royalty, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, and preservative-laden Arnasasian cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arnasas's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam.

Arnasas is ranked 163,029^th in the world and 5,901^st in Lazarus for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.69 Crimes Per Hour.
