The Federation of Ligr is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sirelia Elderhark with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.556 billion Ligrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoslom. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ligrian economy, worth 392 trillion gells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,291 gells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, and the aims of top-secret Ligrian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ligr's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lunar-Celestialnism.

Ligr is ranked 26,066^th in the world and 2^nd in Waifu for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 240.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
