The Commonwealth of Liburia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Zenon Ševerinet with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.839 billion Liburians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Europa. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Liburian economy, worth a remarkable 5,345 trillion güldes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 269,446 güldes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and the military struggles with recruitment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liburia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Liburia is ranked 13,716^th in the world and 932^nd in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 77,331.22 Standard Monetary Units.
