The Queer Utopia of Liphia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Flying Spaghetti Monster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.31 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 1,348 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 184,484 Stonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, Liphia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. 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 1,954th in the world and 4th in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 15,681.95 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
