The Holy Society of Buddies of Ligmabaels is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Bingham Pastorio with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.117 billion Ligmabaelis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duinyurmam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ligmabaeli economy, worth a remarkable 1,202 trillion ligmas a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 292,014 ligmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 887,988 per year while the poor average 74,577, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ligmabaels's national animal is the slugma, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Intercourse.

Ligmabaels is ranked 15,279^th in the world and 368^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,218.95 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
