The Free States of -Liberty- is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.954 billion -Liberty-ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The frighteningly efficient -Liberty-ian economy, worth 475 trillion Greenbacks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 120,154 Greenbacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 634,187 per year while the poor average 12,105, a ratio of 52.4 to 1.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, the entire entry for -Liberty- in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, and high school career advisors advise belligerent loners to consider vigilantism. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. -Liberty-'s national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

-Liberty- is ranked 156,409th in the world and 35th in Timoria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 384.76 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
