The Sultanate of Puraykinia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sheik Abdul Amin Kaissie with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.546 billion Puraykinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldsville. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Puraykinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,339 trillion bolts a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 266,145 bolts, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.
The team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, it's entirely possible foreign diplomats misheard when Puraykinia offered the words "peace be upon you", calling out of the blue has become taboo, and arms manufacturers and mild-mannered journalists have been outed as superheroes. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Puraykinia's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Cult of Lee.
Puraykinia is ranked 291,952nd in the world and 64th in The Eternal Order for Lowest Crime Rates, with 12.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
