The United Arab Republics of North African Empire is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Union Commander Muhammad Nasser with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 21.325 billion North Africans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rabat. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North African economy, worth a remarkable 3,443 trillion Union Dinars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,472 Union Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, the nation's image rights are the strictest in the world, hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, and the nation has abandoned Brasilistan to its fate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North African Empire's national animal is the Union Rhino, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Prophetical Islam.

North African Empire is ranked 28,922^nd in the world and 1^st in Global Powers for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,393.42 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
