The Armed Republic of The Levant and Hashem is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, devout population of 103 million Arabs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Arab economy, worth 6.11 trillion Sheyyads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 59,287 Sheyyads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, gun ownership is compulsory, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Levant and Hashem's national animal is the Pit Viper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Levant and Hashem is ranked 73,894^th in the world and 64^th in Lone Wolves United for Highest Poor Incomes, with 39,651.46 Standard Monetary Units.
