The Socialist Federation of AlQuds is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Karl Marx Oltzen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.965 billion AlQudsis 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AlQuds City. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse AlQudsian economy, worth 333 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 112,396 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, and EpiPen sales have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AlQuds's national animal is the Giggity, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

AlQuds is ranked 277,429^th in the world and 1,322^nd in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 0.48 average smiles per day.
