The Islamic Republic of Areebistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sheikh Abdul Wassem with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.177 billion Areebistanis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raikwad. The average income tax rate is 57.7%.

The all-consuming Areebistani economy, worth 278 trillion dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,034 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Areebistan's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Areebistan is ranked 35,273^rd in the world and 1^st in Ibesterve for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,882.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
