The Republic of Librumia is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.359 billion Librumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Librumian economy, worth a remarkable 2,017 trillion Pages a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 241,323 Pages, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and pushy mums tell their kids to be doctors and engineers but steer them away from being penniless lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Librumia's national animal is the rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Librumia is ranked 5,537th in the world and 165th in The East Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 9,811.61 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
