The Sultanate of MotherLand of awESomEiSm is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Shehzaad with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 24.034 billion MotherLand of awESomEiSmians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port awESomE. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MotherLand of awESomEiSmian economy, worth a remarkable 5,487 trillion Awesomoneys a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,315 Awesomoneys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Sultan Shehzaad's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MotherLand of awESomEiSm's national animal is the AwesoLion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is aWesome.

MotherLand of awESomEiSm is ranked 32,848th in the world and 2,123rd in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,024.38 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
