The Terrible Swift Sword of Majd al Din is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.503 billion Majd al Dinians 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Majd al Din City. The average income tax rate is 24.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Majd al Dinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,177 trillion NIS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,397 NIS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is known abroad for fast food and nothing else, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Majd al Din's national animal is the Palestine sunbird.

Majd al Din is ranked 64,627^th in the world and 1^st in Palestine for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,637.02 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
