The Imperium of Livarin is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zeltharion with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.14 billion Livarinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xenon. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Livarinian economy, worth 666 trillion Lirans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 212,268 Lirans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Livarinian beaches, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve, and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Livarin's national animal is the Chasmfiend, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Livarin is ranked 11,635^th in the world and 4^th in the Obsidian Highlands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,288.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
