Name the country

The government earns $100,000,000 a day but inflation is at 18% and unemployment exceeds 30%.

The country wants to be 'self-sufficient' to reduce its dependence on foreign commerce, which is used by the Jewish-Crusaders to keep the country weak and dependent.

Major strikes have been a common occurrence since the Fall. In one strike the capital was basically shut down for several days.

Workers' rights have no place here because the state can keep 'the community of the faithful' free of class struggle

Imports are restricted to such a degree that many factories do not have spare parts. Oil equipment is in such a state of disrepair that the country, a major oil producer, has to import oil.

Did you guess 'Iran'?

I hope you can access this article by Amir Taheri (who does not sound like a nut case) in a recent Wall Street Journal.
