The Greater Rashidun Caliphate of Calystrilya is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by The Rashidun with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 841 million Rashidunis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rashiduni economy, worth 104 trillion Dirhams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 124,292 Dirhams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Calystrilya. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calystrilya's national animal is the The Arabian Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Calystrilya is ranked 15,156^th in the world and 21^st in Saint Osmund for Most Cultured, scoring 97 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
