The Republic of New Licentia Pro Rus Ruris is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Howard N Salley with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, devout population of 14.051 billion 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Licentia City. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Licentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,322 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 94,101 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government pours millions of Dollars into rehabilitation programs annually, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Licentia Pro Rus Ruris's national animal is the Licentian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Licentia Pro Rus Ruris is ranked 249,067^th in the world and 2^nd in Brave New America for Most Primitive, scoring -149.36 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
