The Aristocratic Regime of Lowell Leber is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Lowellius XVII with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 29.764 billion Leberites are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Leberdino. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lowell Leberian economy, worth an astonishing 14,557 trillion Centipences a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 489,087 Centipences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,585,780 per year while the poor average 113,822, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

The new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and the children of Lowell Leber are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lowell Leber's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Pub Life.

Lowell Leber is ranked 368th in the world and 1st in New Warsaw Pact for Most Cultured, scoring 547 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
