The Federal Republic of Libertasi is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 637 million Libertasis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frehertus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Libertasian economy, worth 82.9 trillion Kösars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 130,089 Kösars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 676,749 per year while the poor average 13,505, a ratio of 50.1 to 1.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, sheep-like political loyalists repeat the mantra "one wheel bad, three wheels good", and conspiracy theorists allege Frehertus City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Libertasi's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Libertasi is ranked 46,534th in the world and 456th in the West Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,162.46 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
