The Emirate of Bukhistan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emir Abdul Halim Al-Masaf with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, triple-decker prams, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.385 billion Bukhistanais are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baâran. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.8%.

The frighteningly efficient bukhistanais economy, worth a remarkable 5,220 trillion riyaals a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 556,278 riyaals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,167,258 per year while the poor average 5,554, a ratio of 930 to 1.

Politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Bukhistan's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Bukhistan is ranked 6,561^st in the world and 9^th in Calme Ybovien for Most Conservative, scoring 93.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
