The Islamic Caliphate of Talibanada is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Tariq al-Qanada with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.166 billion Talibanadians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Defense, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of al-Atawah. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The powerhouse Talibanadian economy, worth 659 trillion dinars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 127,585 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The clergy of Islam remains a single-sex institution, everyone apparently sends Tariq al-Qanada hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talibanada's national animal is the camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Talibanada is ranked 7,551st in the world and 544th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 3,569.08 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
