The Community of Libeenes is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 443 million Libeenesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tartarus. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Libeenesian economy, worth 42.2 trillion Trades a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 95,194 Trades, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and Libeenesians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Libeenes's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Libeenes is ranked 112,557th in the world and 729th in 10000 Islands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,430.07 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
