The Empire of Ancient Babylon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Nebuzar with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.364 billion Ancient Babylonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ancient Babylonian economy, worth 219 trillion Dong a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 161,027 Dong, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 659,555 per year while the poor average 25,992, a ratio of 25.4 to 1.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, the military's newest toy broadcasts Ancient Babylon's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane, a third of Ancient Babylonians are e-certified CEOs, and Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancient Babylon's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Holy Order of the Crown.

Ancient Babylon is ranked 69,222^nd in the world and 6^th in Albastru for Largest Black Market, with 6.38 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
