The Republic of Liventia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by prime minister James Morgan with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 35.384 billion Liventians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orean. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Liventian economy, worth a remarkable 1,256 trillion Republic Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,511 Republic Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liventia's national animal is the urban fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is no official religion.

Liventia is ranked 260,341^st in the world and 75^th in Rushmore for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.12 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
