The Republic of Libate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Velma Mincit with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 33.945 billion Libateans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olland. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Libatean economy, worth a remarkable 3,851 trillion Silver Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 113,455 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Entomologists flock to Olland for its remarkable gadfly population, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Libate's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Libate is ranked 331,436^th in the world and 78^th in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -25.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
