The Empire of Likantuea is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.106 billion Likantueans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ureka. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Likantuean economy, worth 62.7 trillion Ters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,716 Ters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages, gun-wielding gangsters sometimes deal death from as far as ten paces away, and the Federal Council of Likantuea has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Likantuea's national animal is the Sulicam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Likantuea is ranked 65,049^th in the world and 135^th in Refugia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 45,570.44 Standard Monetary Units.
