The Sultanate of AlNizal is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Nishal The Great with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 8.529 billion AlNizalians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nishalistan. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient AlNizalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,315 trillion Alnizal Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,220 Alnizal Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, citizens can't decide whether to be proud or horrified by the country's colonial history, new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AlNizal's national animal is the Wild Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

AlNizal is ranked 14,719^th in the world and 627^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 332.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
