The United Republic of Lieges is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Potrus Soustas with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.459 billion Liègians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricads. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Liegesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,655 trillion Ownuans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 225,930 Ownuans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", anti-riot police are dispatched whenever two elderly ladies gather to complain that prices have increased, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lieges's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lieges is ranked 56^th in the world and 48^th in Europe for Most Influential, scoring 747,055 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
