The Emirate of Western hotep is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.528 billion Western hotepians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 40.1%.

The very strong Western hotepian economy, worth 457 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,121 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares, Leader has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, the government says only criminals harp on about "innocent until proven guilty", and children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western hotep's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Western hotep is ranked 77,093rd in the world and 1,779th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.14822426488 days.
