The Endorse Markanite Republic of Liberdon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord Squall Arctic with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.895 billion Liberdonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rectus City. The average income tax rate is 15.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Liberdonian economy, worth 786 trillion ice cubes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 160,635 ice cubes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the government loves seeing the little people fight, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and atheists on vacation find Capitalism's scriptures make useful doorstops. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Liberdon's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Capitalism.

Liberdon is ranked 186,695^th in the world and 995^th in 10000 Islands for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.2 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
