The Thaumatarchic Interzone of Darussalam is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Al-Qa'im of a Thousand Nights with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 24.476 billion Darussalamis live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Mada'in. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Darussalami economy, worth a remarkable 7,296 trillion rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 298,089 rupees, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,369,026 per year while the poor average 39,382, a ratio of 34.8 to 1.

The government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, the media seems excessively interested in what Al-Qa'im of a Thousand Nights is wearing this season, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, and unemployed taxi drivers ironically use self-driving cabs to reach employment offices. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Darussalam's national animal is the peacock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Xenosufism.

Darussalam is ranked 49,021^st in the world and 4^th in Valkia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,497.66 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
