The Emirate of Qasifya is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The cynical, devout population of 7.015 billion Qasifyans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Industry receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Qasifyan economy, worth 225 trillion Dinars a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,104 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and Bactrian sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Qasifya's national animal is the Bactrian, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Qasifya is ranked 276,295^th in the world and 32^nd in Teremara for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -58.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
