The Constant Caliphate of Al-Jibber is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Diophantus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.145 billion Al-Jibberians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Slate. The average income tax rate is 14.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Al-Jibberian economy, worth 412 trillion variables a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,715 variables, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Diophantus has just been declared ruler of Al-Jibber in an international press conference, many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Al-Jibber's radio stations. Crime is relatively low. Al-Jibber's national animal is the function, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Solve for X.

Al-Jibber is ranked 210,060^th in the world and 342^nd in The Yamada Ryo Star Warriors for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
