The Republic of Masri State is a tiny, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14 million Egyptians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 35.0%.

The strong Egyptian economy, worth 753 billion Egyptian pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,780 Egyptian pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masri State's national animal is the Egyptian golden eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Masri State is ranked 272,308^th in the world and 244^th in Christians for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -10 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
