The United Free states of Libura is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by J william robert with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.244 billion Liburans 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Liburan economy, worth 537 trillion Liberdollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 126,712 Liberdollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 453,319 per year while the poor average 25,426, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Libura's national animal is the White pointed eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Liberty.

Libura is ranked 265,684^th in the world and 8^th in The Allied Northern Archipeligo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 40.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
