The Sharia Confederation of Riyadh al-Baraka is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zayn al-Ummati with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.821 billion Barakans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eastern Sabzabad. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Riyadh al-Baraka economy, worth 211 trillion Wahids a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 116,392 Wahids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', rundown towns are frequently sold to billionaires for their pet projects, Zayn al-Ummati's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, and editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riyadh al-Baraka's national animal is the Kuhaylan horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Riyadh al-Baraka is ranked 17,797^th in the world and 36^th in The Bongos United for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,594.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
