The Principality of Nablus is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Lord Louis the Pious with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 8.498 billion Nablusians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nablus. The average income tax rate is 25.6%.

The Nablusian economy, worth 447 trillion bezants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,633 bezants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Lord Louis the Pious has just been declared ruler of Nablus in an international press conference, Christianity has been named as Nablus's national religion, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nablus's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Nablus is ranked 129,115^th in the world and 2^nd in Jerusalem for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.87 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
