The Emirate of Al Madhaa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emirah Zuhr bint Ghazi Al Shams with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.541 billion Madhaa'ins are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gu'la. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Madhaa'in economy, worth 609 trillion dhaa'ins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,135 dhaa'ins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the new Really Big Telescope has been praised for presenting pictures of bright dots in unprecedented detail, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al Madhaa's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Al Madhaa is ranked 13,114^th in the world and 370^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.3 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
