The Oppressed Peoples of Ligon Swamplands is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Beacon of Freedom with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.375 billion Ligon Swamplanders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Healthcare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Underground Chamber. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ligon Swamplandsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,992 trillion Reeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 304,883 Reeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, no true communist is an unbeliever, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Ligon Swamplandsian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, and punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ligon Swamplands's national animal is the Swamp Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Truth.

Ligon Swamplands is ranked 127,215th in the world and 2,327th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 266.30485039812 days.
