The Sultanate of Aldiydan is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 26 million Aldiydanians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Aldiydanian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Al-Livers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 57,547 Al-Livers, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Aldiydan's national animal is the Flukebird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Aldiydan is ranked 45,950^th in the world and 1^st in DopplerSonar for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
