The Free Land of Upper Libertatem is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Joe Liberty with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, feral children, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.333 billion Upper Libertatemians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anarchia. The average income tax rate is 4.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Libertatemian economy, worth 945 trillion currency units a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 128,929 currency units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Anarchia's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, the government thinks Upper Libertatemians can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, the daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, and newspapers are running a front-page picture of Joe Liberty holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Upper Libertatem's national animal is the rabid dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Timothism.

Upper Libertatem is ranked 31,394^th in the world and 704^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,064.99 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
