The Empire of Ash-Shaytan is a small, safe nation, remarkable for
its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical
population of 9 million are ruled without fear or favor by a
psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to
the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government is effectively
ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as
Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds
by comparison. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher
for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is led by the Cheese Exports
industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Book
Publishing.
Euthanasia is legal, nudity is frowned upon, the government is
reigning in public spending, and citizens are barcoded to keep
track of their movements. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a
well-funded police force. Ash-Shaytan's national animal is the
Wraith and its currency is the Ashtun.
Ash-Shaytan is ranked 469th in the region and 93,261st in the world
for Best Weather.
