The Commonwealth of Liravia Plus is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 398 million Liro-Plusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Liravian economy, worth 16.2 trillion Marulas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,816 Marulas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, huge explosions in the sky are a daily occurrence in the cities, and organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liravia Plus's national animal is the Mega Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Liravia Plus is ranked 252,111^th in the world and 51^st in Liravialand for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -32.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
