The Sultanate of Al-Dijaj is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sultan Abdul Fatih with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.658 billion Al-Dijajis 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nusantara. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Dijajian economy, worth a remarkable 6,304 trillion Sarsurs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 540,745 Sarsurs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,871,103 per year while the poor average 53,805, a ratio of 53.4 to 1.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, the people have taken "Hail Sultan Abdul Fatih" as an invitation to lob rocks, and no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al-Dijaj's national animal is the Flying Camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Al-Dijaj is ranked 1,589th in the world and 34th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 153.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
