The Eternal Thearchy of Darussalam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by al-Qa'im bi-'Amr Allah with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.652 billion Darussalamis are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Mada'in. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Darussalami economy, worth a remarkable 4,054 trillion dirhams a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 276,729 dirhams, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,017,209 per year while the poor average 53,234, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Darussalam's national animal is the peacock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Xenosufism.

Darussalam is ranked 43,208^th in the world and 6^th in Valkia for Most Developed, scoring 59.58 on the Human Development Index.
