The Forests of Liberated Antarctica is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.137 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vostok Pinnacle. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, Liberated Antarctica's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Liberated Antarctica's national animal is the Gryfon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ethos.

Liberated Antarctica is ranked 57th in Philosophy 115 and 130,987th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -18 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
