The Underground Council Republic of Limitata is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Paulo Cravo with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.96 billion Limitatans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Administration is also considered important, while Welfare and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 2.4%.

The powerhouse Limitatan economy, worth 540 trillion escudoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 109,027 escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren are taught to boo and hiss at Paulo Cravo's name, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, exterminators swarm Limitatan homes, and citizens invest their excess cash in mattresses. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Limitata's national animal is the Black Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Multiple Faiths.

Limitata is ranked 55,074^th in the world and 7^th in MHBs New Earth for Highest Average Incomes, with 109,027.92 Standard Monetary Units.
