The Empire of Kingdom of Mashriq is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Manuel XIV of Mashriq with a fair hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.716 billion Mashriqis 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manos City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kingdom of Mashriqi economy, worth 587 trillion Mashriqi Imperial Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,187 Mashriqi Imperial Dinars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Blackacrean security services are wondering why Emperor Manuel XIV of Mashriq is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Kingdom of Mashriq. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Mashriq's national animal is the Mashriqi Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oriental Church.

Kingdom of Mashriq is ranked 29,822^nd in the world and 39^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,660.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
