The Emirate of Quraysh is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emir Fihr ibn Malik with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The devout population of 2.169 billion Qurayshians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mecca. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Qurayshian economy, worth 94.3 trillion dinars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,455 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quraysh's national animal is the hawk and its national religion is Islam.
Quraysh is ranked 115,151st in the world and 9th in Islamic Commonwealth for Most Primitive, scoring -25.3 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
