The Republic of Arabish is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 32 million Arabishians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Arabishian economy, worth 564 billion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 17,646 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arabish's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arabish is ranked 116,630^th in the world and 2^nd in Final for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 716.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
