The Matriarchy of Lit libern is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.815 billion Lit libernians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.0%.

The powerhouse Lit libernian economy, worth 544 trillion euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,831 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 281,584 per year while the poor average 16,372, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.

Teenage girls in knee-length surfer shorts have become a cultural icon of Lit libern, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, and foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lit libern's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lit libern is ranked 47,877^th in the world and 646^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 153.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
