The Federal Republic of Libertasi is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 534 million Libertases are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frehertus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Libertasian economy, worth 64.1 trillion Kösars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 120,109 Kösars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 656,482 per year while the poor average 11,234, a ratio of 58.4 to 1.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, lottery winners spend most of their money on security, enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Libertasi's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Libertasi is ranked 273,712^th in the world and 3,805^th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.55 average smiles per day.
