The Borderlands of Libegeist is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Robert Kruger with an iron fist, and remarkable for its remarkably easy parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.962 billion Libegeistians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sierra. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Libegeistian economy, worth 199 trillion chips a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,601 chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Libegeist, and the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Libegeist's national animal is the dugong, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Solarium.

Libegeist is ranked 295,879th in the world and 48th in Greater Dienstad for Nicest Citizens, with 0.57 average smiles per day.
