The Emirate of Quraysh is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The devout population of 826 million Qurayshians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Qurayshian economy, worth 35.3 trillion dinars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,788 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Harry Potter books are banned, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quraysh's national animal is the hawk.

Quraysh is ranked 42,331^st in the world and 6^th in Islamic Commonwealth for Nicest Citizens, with 17.36 average smiles per day.
