The Free Land of The Seinfeld Caliphate is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8 million Dank Memers 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 minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.
The Dank Memean economy, worth 484 billion Soup Nazis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 60,509 Soup Nazis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 586,676 per year while the poor average 301, a ratio of 1,948 to 1.
Euthanasia is legal, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Seinfeld Caliphate's national animal is the Dingo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
