The Caliphate of Levants is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rihaj with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.356 billion Levantsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levan. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Levantsian economy, worth 302 trillion Dirhams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 128,450 Dirhams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', too many developers spoil the codebase, and Levantsian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levants's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Levants is ranked 46,039th in the world and 29th in Geopolity for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 664.79 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
