The Emirate of Shawarma Khan is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.227 billion Shawarma Khanians 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 tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.
The very strong Shawarma Khanian economy, worth 133 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 60,158 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.
Treason is relative, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Giraffe Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Shawarma Khan's national animal is the giraffe.
Shawarma Khan is ranked 300,751st in the world and 2nd in South Lebanon for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 8.18 Effective Tax Rate.
