The Imperial Republic of New Licentia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Christopher I with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.666 billion New Licentians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedom. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Licentian economy, worth a remarkable 2,401 trillion Rallods a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,208 Rallods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

News headlines suggest that Emperor Christopher I has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Licentia's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Licentia is ranked 130,460^th in the world and 32^nd in Greater Dienstad for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,513.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
