The Territory of Al Najim is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Haktokab Makaban with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.157 billion Hulyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Public Transport, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuhula. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.1%.

The large but inefficient Hulyan economy, worth 240 trillion Hulyan Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,579 Hulyan Dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 134,028 per year while the poor average 12,861, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad, families are only permitted to have one child, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Al Najim's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Al Najim is ranked 245,432nd in the world and 3,164th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
