The Rogue Nation of Mahdi al-Mashat is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 142 million Mahdi al-Mashatians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Mahdi al-Mashatian economy, worth 2.89 trillion riyals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,327 riyals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mahdi al-Mashat's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mahdi al-Mashat is ranked 297,326^th in the world and 142^nd in Sun Tzu the Art of War for Most Developed, scoring 45.39 on the Human Development Index.
