The Sultanate of Biyakhdir is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sultan Ali III with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.191 billion Biyakhdiris are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghabalmalik. The average income tax rate is 55.2%.
The thriving Biyakhdiri economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion Dirhams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 88,585 Dirhams, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Single celebrities have to repeatedly prove their chastity to avoid being married off to infatuated fans, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, and soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Biyakhdir's national animal is the Lion and its national religion is Islam.
Biyakhdir is ranked 140,147th in the world and 1st in West Asia for Safest, scoring 63.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
