The Holy Empire of Muad-Dib is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Leto II Atreides with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.64 billion Fremen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fremen economy, worth a remarkable 2,294 trillion Melanges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 300,382 Melanges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Muad-Dib as a reminder of their "special relationship", legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, and a major piece of minority legislation allows a majority of minority interests to majorly undermine majority politics. Crime is totally unknown. Muad-Dib's national animal is the Shai-Hulud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The God Emperor.

Muad-Dib is ranked 269,592^nd in the world and 3,328^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.79 flags saluted per person per day.
