The Pirate Republic of Libertalias is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High Council of Libertalias with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.724 billion Libertalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freehaven. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Libertalian economy, worth 540 trillion doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 145,104 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"High Council of Libertalias got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Libertalian citizenship in droves, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Libertalias's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Golden Order of the Black Flag.

Libertalias is ranked 205,504^th in the world and 2^nd in Montressos for Most Patriotic, with 6.29 flags saluted per person per day.
