The Shortening of the Way of Kwisatz Carderach is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by the Lisan al-Gaib with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.586 billion Kwisatz Carderachians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakeen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.4%.

The strong Kwisatz Carderachian economy, worth 288 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,827 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, many believe that the Lisan al-Gaib's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, and powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kwisatz Carderach's national animal is the Maker and its national religion is Wandering Zensunni.

Kwisatz Carderach is ranked 340,453rd in the world and 3,909th in the West Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 0.9 quips per hour.
