The Free Republic of Liversmark is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liverm with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 16.424 billion Livermarkians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liveropolis. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Liversmarkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,358 trillion Livers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 143,630 Livers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, dream holidays often go awry, the government says only criminals harp on about "innocent until proven guilty", and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Liversmark's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Liversmark is ranked 65,699^th in the world and 1,020^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
