The 2014 Lexus ES 350 of Arbonium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Scott Thompson with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.151 billion Lexuses hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Georgetown. The average income tax rate is 13.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lexus economy, worth a remarkable 2,256 trillion ES Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 159,473 ES Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The media seems excessively interested in what Scott Thompson is wearing this season, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, the nation's smallest Kumakichiball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Lexuses make research institutes rich. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Arbonium's national animal is the Kumakichi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arbonium is ranked 13,422nd in the world and 26th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Stationary, with 1,902.85442106128 days.
