The State of Limer is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 23.928 billion Limerians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Limerian economy, worth 821 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,342 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Limer has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Limer's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Limer is ranked 78,755^th in the world and 2^nd in Kingston for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,181.23 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
