The Emirate of Khofashia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 211 million Khofashians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 27.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Khofashian economy, worth 19.2 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,130 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Leader's office, builders across Khofashia are blocked up with orders for new public loos, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khofashia's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Khofashia is ranked 199,438th in the world and 8th in The Eternal Alliance of Arab Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
