The District of Liard is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 38.76 billion Liardians 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 minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The thriving Liardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,913 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,377 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 335,706 per year while the poor average 2,653, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, all tariffs have been abolished, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and child labor has been outlawed. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Liard's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Liard is ranked 284,880^th in the world and 1^st in Levant for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.71 kickbacks per hour.
