The Community of Liberated Peoples Cooperative is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emerald Horseradish with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.563 billion Liberated Peoples Cooperativeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Communistan. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Liberated Peoples Cooperativean economy, worth 89.9 trillion lollipops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 57,502 lollipops, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government-sponsored autobiography 'An Emerald Horseradish For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Emerald Horseradish's supporters, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liberated Peoples Cooperative's national animal is the rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Liberated Peoples Cooperative is ranked 20,265^th in the world and 1,245^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 116.26 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
