The Most Serene and Holy Empire of Al Mutwakkil is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Yusef ibn Yasu al Barr with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.877 billion Mutwakkilites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of al Intisar. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mutwakkili economy, worth a remarkable 8,716 trillion Murhanzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 324,318 Murhanzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Emperor Yusef ibn Yasu al Barr to meetings with foreign heads of state, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Mutwakkili selfishness, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and police nightsticks see use all day long. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Al Mutwakkil's national animal is the leper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is greed.

Al Mutwakkil is ranked 9,524^th in the world and 205^th in the Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,332.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
