The People's Republic of Liknovia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Beni with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.343 billion Liknovians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiflis. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Liknovian economy, worth 314 trillion Liknoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,161 Liknoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, most towns have their Chairman Beni High School located on Chairman Beni Street, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liknovia's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Liknovia is ranked 12,174^th in the world and 206^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 357.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
