The Islamic Theocratic Monarchy of Empire of Dabiristan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Dabir Vlll with an iron fist, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.07 billion Dabiristanis 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maham. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Dabiristanian economy, worth 330 trillion Zaids a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,794 Zaids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges, conspiracy theorists allege Maham's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Dabiristan's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

Empire of Dabiristan is ranked 7,117^th in the world and 234^th in The East Pacific for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 59.25 Whatever.
