The United Provinces of Limburg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gouverneur with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 26.066 billion Limburgians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HasseltMaastricht. The average income tax rate is 80.4%.

The very strong Limburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,503 trillion Gulden Franks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,038 Gulden Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, and only lightning has a chance of striking Gouverneur twice. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Limburg's national animal is the Nachtegaal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Limburg is ranked 234,486th in the world and 7,076th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 23.18715182688 days.
