The Queer Utopia of Liphia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Flying Spaghetti Monster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.347 billion Liphians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Place. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Liphian economy, worth a remarkable 1,354 trillion Stonks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 184,363 Stonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, artists are pillars of society, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liphia's national animal is the Blåhaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Liphia is ranked 285,776th in the world and 337th in Refugia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -21.43 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
