The Star-Worshiping Realm of Arab Hedonists is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kulaib 'ibn Aws with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.063 billion Harranians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harran. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Harranian economy, worth a remarkable 2,550 trillion dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 195,229 dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 702,195 per year while the poor average 38,851, a ratio of 18.1 to 1.

"Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arab Hedonists's national animal is the Nubian ibex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Harranian Sabianism.

Arab Hedonists is ranked 3,182nd in the world and 1st in The Gulf Cooperation Council for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,717.06 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
