The Aristocratic Regime of Lowell Leber is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Lowellius XVII with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 29.999 billion Leberites are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Leberdino. The average income tax rate is 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lowell Leberian economy, worth an astonishing 15,054 trillion Centipences a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 501,831 Centipences, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', King Lowellius XVII's perky ego is the talk of the town, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to King Lowellius XVII's wardrobe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lowell Leber's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Pub Life.

Lowell Leber is ranked 290,878^th in the world and 90^th in New Warsaw Pact for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.2 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
