The Confederacy of Livana is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Peter Trenton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.008 billion Livanans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Livonia. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Livanan economy, worth 173 trillion Feras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 86,497 Feras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and re-education centers are being added to most prisons. Crime is totally unknown. Livana's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cultus Rationem.

Livana is ranked 224,474^th in the world and 10,922^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -4.75 on the Hayek Index.
