The Commonwealth of Liberty Ben is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 3.112 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Philadelphia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16%. A healthy private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Book Publishing and Trout Farming.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high and Liberty Ben has designated Philadelphia as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Liberty Ben's national animal is the turkey, and its currency is the aphorism.

Liberty Ben is ranked 3rd in Philadelphia and 105,001st in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 62 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
