The Emirate of Ash-Shams is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.484 billion Ash-Shamsians 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 is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Ash-Shamsian economy, worth 501 trillion Malays a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 59,067 Malays, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,225 per year while the poor average 14,546, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Homosexuality has been banned to prevent the spread of homosexuality, newspapers are celebrating Leader saving over a million cats from trees, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and the Hanging Gardens account for half of Ash-Shams City's water use. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ash-Shams's national animal is the Sun Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ash-Shams is ranked 129,005th in the world and 63rd in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Most Stationary, with 257.20871038632 days.
