The Bealtian Dominion of Zemira is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kareem Ra-Hassan with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.485 billion Zemirans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salexara. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The strong Zemiran economy, worth 164 trillion Zemrian Bakhas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 66,346 Zemrian Bakhas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 413,275 per year while the poor average 4,555, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, surveillance cameras are banned, Kareem Ra-Hassan has just been declared ruler of Zemira in an international press conference, and Zemira has designated Salexara as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Zemira's national animal is the Sphinx, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zemira is ranked 75,749^th in the world and 19^th in Astellaria for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,501.01 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
