The Second Socialist Republic of Al-Aezam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ra'īs Kourosh Rasul with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.924 billion Al-Aezamis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markaz. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Al-Aezami economy, worth a remarkable 5,298 trillion Al-Aezami Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 313,046 Al-Aezami Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a desperate bid for cheap airfare Al-Aezamis can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, organ donation rates have hit a new low, the government has enacted freedom of information, and the Al-Aezami Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime is totally unknown. Al-Aezam's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Agnosticism.

Al-Aezam is ranked 2,437th in the world and 12th in The Internationale for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 19,261.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
