The Currently Lacking Pretitle of Libertanny is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sean Diaz with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.644 billion Libertannyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puerto Lobos. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Libertannyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,897 trillion Chock-o-crisps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 150,058 Chock-o-crisps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", people are often woken up by rubbish music, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Libertanny's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Libertanny is ranked 55,160th in the world and 882nd in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,323.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
