The Jamahiriyah of Medma is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Qaid Noor al-Ghanem with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 22.56 billion Medmans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quzrum. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Medman economy, worth a remarkable 2,551 trillion penias a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Cheese Exports industry. Average income is an impressive 113,090 penias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, there's no such thing as a safe bet, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medma's national animal is the flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.
Medma is ranked 288,258th in the world and 1,279th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,505.8 Standard Monetary Units.
