The Economy is mixed market, the social policy is fairly leftist, but we aren't a socialist state, we have a large private sector (primarily manufacturing). And We don't really care.

The land doctrine is a elastic defense, delay, and guerrilla tactics. The naval submarine doctrine is based primarily of denying forces to launch amphibious assaults; hence submarines. Current Air force is modeled on an air superiority doctrine, so the air force is the best kept forces of the al-Maghrib al-Awsaṭ .

India and North Korea are close friends yet India has supported initiatives to counter North Korea's nuclear development.
