The Sultanate of Al Mujahideen is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.272 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al Mujahideen City. The average income tax rate is 71%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

The government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, a determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al Mujahideen's national animal is the red panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Dirham.

Al Mujahideen is ranked 3rd in Juniata and 20,377th in the world for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 17 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
