The Republic of Liata is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leila with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.686 billion Liatans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piryllae. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Liatan economy, worth a remarkable 1,538 trillion Litens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,963 Litens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Liten treacle machine. Crime is totally unknown. Liata's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Liata is ranked 7,040^th in the world and 36^th in NationStates for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,825.24 Tourists Per Hour.
