The Nation at a Glance

Libertas Omnium Maximus, officially known as the Federal Republic of Libertas Omnium Maximus, is a nation comprising fifteen provinces in southeast Hesperida in the International Democratic Union. Libertas Omnium Maximus covers an area of over 210,000 square miles and is home to an estimated 60 million citizens. Situated on the Kherson peninsula and its adjacent archipelago, the nation borders Zhonrey and Laeral to the north, the Bay of Chaucer to the west, and the Promethean Sea to the east and south. The nation’s capital is Litudinem and its largest metropolitan area is Iustitia City.

The modern Maximusian government was founded following the Iustitian Civil War, which lasted from 1837 to 1841. The conflict was a popular democratic uprising in opposition of the provisional Iustitian state, which had been created following the peninsula’s war of independence from Valahandia in 1802. Between the 1850s and 1870s, Maximusian frontiersmen established permanent settlements throughout the arid north-east while investors and capitalists developed industry in the west. The turn of the 20th century saw a massive Maximusian population boom and the nation’s emergence onto the world stage. Libertas Omnium Maximus proved its mettle during the Great War and has been a regional power in Hesperida since.

The nation has a strong and diverse economy, generating an estimated 3.7 trillion in yearly GDP, and boasts a small nuclear arsenal. A developed, fiscally healthy country, Libertas Omnium Maximus has a limited social welfare system and offers its citizens a relatively high degree of economic freedom, specifically with regard to property rights and marginal tax rate. Libertas Omnium Maximus has been a member of the League of International Democratic Union Nations since the organization's inception.
