The Holy Empire of Muad-Dib is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leto II Atreides with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.609 billion Fremen 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.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fremen economy, worth a remarkable 2,288 trillion Melanges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 300,775 Melanges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. Muad-Dib's national animal is the Shai-Hulud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The God Emperor.

Muad-Dib is ranked 290,939^th in the world and 3,705^th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.13 kickbacks per hour.
