The Empire of Ancient Babylon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Nebuzar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.269 billion Ancient Babylonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ancient Babylonian economy, worth 202 trillion Dong a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 159,543 Dong, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 656,156 per year while the poor average 25,576, a ratio of 25.7 to 1.

Wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancient Babylon's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Holy Order of the Crown.

Ancient Babylon is ranked 32,122^nd in the world and 24^th in Albastru for Most Developed, scoring 82.13 on the Human Development Index.
