The Republic of Al Hashemi is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Amin Ali Al-Hashemi with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.866 billion Al Hashemians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al Madinah Al Munawwarah. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Al Hashemian economy, worth 402 trillion Dirhams a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,380 Dirhams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, people typically base their votes on which party has the cutest logo, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, and old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al Hashemi's national animal is the Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

Al Hashemi is ranked 178,539^th in the world and 3^rd in Mar A Lago Club for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
