The Emirate of Suwq ar-Raqiq is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.959 billion Suwqis 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of As-Syd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.
The powerhouse Suwqi economy, worth 798 trillion Dirhams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 89,082 Dirhams, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 723,255 per year while the poor average 2,422, a ratio of 298 to 1.
Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, high school principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, and the government is a law unto itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Suwq ar-Raqiq's national animal is the dromedary, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.
Suwq ar-Raqiq is ranked 141,364th in the world and 149th in The World Rearranged for Most Stationary, with 200.42086478612 days.
