The House of Al Saud is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The House of Al Saud with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.611 billion Al Saudians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riyadh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Al Saudian economy, worth a remarkable 4,373 trillion riyals 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, broadly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 158,391 riyals, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Al Saud's national animal is the camel and its national religion is Islam.

Al Saud is ranked 233,559th in the world and 7,147th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.19843654188 days.
