The Emirate of Irhab is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.934 billion Irhabians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Irhabian economy, worth a remarkable 2,077 trillion Dinars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,634 Dinars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, organ donation is compulsory, 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, and agricultural science is the most competitive subject at universities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irhab's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of The Supreme Leader.

Irhab is ranked 62,451^st in the world and 3,841^st in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
