The Queer Utopia of Liphia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Rock the Dwayne Johnson with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.242 billion Liphians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Place. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Liphian economy, worth a remarkable 1,331 trillion Stonks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 183,917 Stonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, and it turns out you can teach cats new tricks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liphia's national animal is the Blåhaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Liphia is ranked 292,587th in the world and 399th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -27.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
