The Socialist Confederation of Livernus is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Filip Nowak with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.752 billion Livernusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volgograd. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Livernusian economy, worth 748 trillion Empirics 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 130,105 Empirics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Livernus's national animal is the Caspian Red Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Enforced Atheism.

Livernus is ranked 299,946th in the world and 9,667th in Lazarus for Most Avoided, scoring 0.7 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
