The Most Serene Republic of Liko is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Liko with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 1.441 billion Likoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesagoza. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Likoan economy, worth 91.5 trillion Poké Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 63,464 Poké Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, and when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liko's national animal is the Sprigatito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arceus.

Liko is ranked 135,017^th in the world and 6^th in Taiwan for Highest Food Quality, scoring 17.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
