The Islamic Republic of Hadramote is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zubaid Amru al-Hadrami with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.275 billion Hadramoteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mukalla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.4%.

The powerhouse Hadramotean economy, worth 182 trillion Riyals a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,029 Riyals, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Even snitches get stitches, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday, and sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Zubaid Amru al-Hadrami's cabinet meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadramote's national animal is the Leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

Hadramote is ranked 217,535^th in the world and 51^st in Philosophers for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,290.95 Standard Monetary Units.
