The Libertine Empire of Alietuma is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mendoza I with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.36 billion Alietumen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertas. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alietuman economy, worth 753 trillion Pennas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,350 Pennas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, solid-gold toilets are Alietuman prisons' least expensive furnishings, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and Mendoza I's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alietuma's national animal is the White Sail Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alietuma is ranked 78,647^th in the world and 61^st in Declansburg for Most Primitive, scoring 29.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
