The Empire of Mashriqi African Horn is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Manuel XIV of Mashriq with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.746 billion Horn Africans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Environment receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City State of Addis Ababa. The average income tax rate is 26.7%.

The powerhouse Horn African economy, worth 214 trillion Mashriqi Imperial Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 77,988 Mashriqi Imperial Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Horn African Moonshine", vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Horn African mussels the biggest in Britannia, the MAHBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mashriqi African Horn's national animal is the African Horn Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oriental Church.

Mashriqi African Horn is ranked 83,883^rd in the world and 44^th in Britannia for Most Developed, scoring 65.91 on the Human Development Index.
