The Emirate of Qumran is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emir Mohammed al-Husseini with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.594 billion Qumranis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khirbet. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Qumrani economy, worth 146 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,722 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qumran's national animal is the camel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Islam.

Qumran is ranked 106,773^rd in the world and 6^th in Western Australia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,085.42 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
