The Emirate of Dafatayn is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Abu Armiyā al-Mālikī with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.567 billion Dafataynis are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mabyad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The powerhouse Dafataynian economy, worth 118 trillion Dirhams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,518 Dirhams, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 235,532 per year while the poor average 18,597, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

World leaders often feel uncomfortable when Abu Armiyā al-Mālikī tries to recruit them into selling cosmetics, it isn't 'real music' without several cannons, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dafatayn's national animal is the Stork, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Sunnī Atharī Islām.

Dafatayn is ranked 229,778^th in the world and 3,691^st in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 18,597.8 Standard Monetary Units.
