The United Republic of Lieges is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Potrus Soustas with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.407 billion Liègians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricads. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Liegesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,728 trillion Ownuans a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,256 Ownuans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lieges's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lieges is ranked 1,055^th in the world and 28^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 98.23 on the Human Development Index.
