The Trade Port of Al Mased is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Malachi Va'kar with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.256 billion Masedis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al Mased. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Al Masedian economy, worth 125 trillion Rasheeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 99,963 Rasheeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dictators have dubbed Al Mased the land of lunatics, political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and on-duty Air Al Mased flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al Mased's national animal is the Winged Tuna, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secular Agnositicism.

Al Mased is ranked 232,302^nd in the world and 44^th in Kantrias for Largest Populations, with 1.26 billion capita.
