The Medinaist Republic of Islamic Holy Sites is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign Hassan Alal with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 4.09 billion Muqaddasis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Najaf City. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Muqaddasi economy, worth 414 trillion Gold Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,264 Gold Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Muqaddasi tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islamic Holy Sites's national animal is the sand cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

Islamic Holy Sites is ranked 233,525^th in the world and 8,836^th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.91 kickbacks per hour.
