The People's Republic of Liphia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Flying Spaghetti Monster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.421 billion Liphians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Place. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Liphian economy, worth a remarkable 2,448 trillion Jyloris a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 197,136 Jyloris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Flying Spaghetti Monster, the black market offers sweet deals, public caravans smell like litter boxes, and hospitals in Liphia are too busy serving the needs of Refugia to see Liphians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liphia's national animal is the Blåhaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxism-Leninism.

Liphia is ranked 322,171^st in the world and 212^th in Refugia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
