The Demon's Head of Ras al-Ghul is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The cynical, devout population of 19.446 billion Assassins are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Lazarus Pit. The average income tax rate is 64.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant an Assassin economy, worth 295 trillion Gold Clocks 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 Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 15,208 Gold Clocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, political activists are routinely executed, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of The Lazarus Pit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ras al-Ghul's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ras al-Ghul is ranked 19,337th in the world and 279th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 1,643.86910764532 days.
