The Sha'abist Arab Republic of Lerab is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Abdul-Malek Badil with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.559 billion Lerabies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Habar. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lerabian economy, worth 873 trillion Lerabie golden Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,030 Lerabie golden Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When shaking hands with foreign leaders Abdul-Malek Badil wears an armoured gauntlet, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, and the government has declared that sharing is uncaring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lerab's national animal is the Lerabie Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam-Sunni.

Lerab is ranked 192,065th in the world and 27th in Middle East for Most Stationary, with 58.5732958464 days.
