The City of Diyarbakir is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mehmet with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.834 billion Diyarbakirians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diyarbakir. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Diyarbakirian economy, worth a remarkable 3,969 trillion Lire 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. 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 an impressive 128,750 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, Diyarbakirians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, and it isn't a secret plot without caviar and foie gras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diyarbakir's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diyarbakir is ranked 55,129th in the world and 7th in Mediterranean for Most Developed, scoring 75.99 on the Human Development Index.
