The Republic of Liberdon is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord Squall Arctic with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 833 million Liberdonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rectum City. The average income tax rate is 33.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Liberdonian economy, worth 117 trillion ice cubes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 140,906 ice cubes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has enacted freedom of information, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, and cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Liberdon's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Liberdon is ranked 68,784^th in the world and 799^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,937.88 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
