The Dominion of Levantine Borderlands is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, enslaved workforce, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.593 billion Levantine Borderlandsians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort St Andrew. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Levantine Borderlandsian economy, worth 291 trillion Imperial Dollars 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 112,329 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, sick Levantine Borderlandsians are hair today and gone tomorrow, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levantine Borderlands's national animal is the Argyrean Tobacco Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Levantine Borderlands is ranked 25,686th in the world and 1st in Urcean Civilization for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
