The State of Dar al Salaam is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.265 billion Dar al Salaamians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Defense is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Dar al Salaamian economy, worth 871 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 57,089 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 367,945 per year while the poor average 3,578, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the tenet of free speech is held dear, escalators are avoided at all costs, and Dar al Salaam has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dar al Salaam's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dar al Salaam is ranked 244,507^th in the world and 1^st in Dar al Salaam for Most Developed, scoring 51.54 on the Human Development Index.
