The Caliphate of Iznogoud is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Caliph with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.558 billion Iznogoudians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Social Policy and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baghdad. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Iznogoudian economy, worth an astonishing 21,399 trillion dinars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 540,953 dinars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,045,729 per year while the poor average 5,134, a ratio of 982 to 1.

Both criminals and civilians are DOA, the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, and it's said that an Iznogoudian always pays his debts with significant compounding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Iznogoud's national animal is the camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Iznogoud is ranked 326,914^th in the world and 53^rd in Scandinavia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -69.14 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
