The Ba'athist Arab Republic of Al-Zuweeiyah is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nasser Ebrahim Baghdadi el-Zuweeiyah with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.609 billion Al-Zuweeiyahians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nur Zameer. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Zuweeiyahian economy, worth 446 trillion Zunis - 𝓩s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,641 Zunis - 𝓩s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, Al-Zuweeiyahians have been enjoying a recent boost in civil rights as the government continues to clamp down on emigration, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al-Zuweeiyah's national animal is the Golden Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Al-Zuweeiyah is ranked 27,747^th in the world and 19^th in The Eternal Order for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,956.97 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
