The Dictatorship of Liebwitz is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 103 million Liebwitzians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Liebwitzian economy, worth 9.52 trillion solaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 92,397 solaris, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 667,538 per year while the poor average 4,075, a ratio of 163 to 1.

The government is spending billions of solaris on a fancy space probe to find a planet that may not even exist, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, and bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Liebwitz's national animal is the vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Liebwitz is ranked 67,847^th in the world and 2^nd in Aernen for Most Patriotic, with 24.54 flags saluted per person per day.
