Introduction : Libertarian Governance
Libertarian Governance was founded by an organization of pirates called Nemesis Incorporated in 1735. Nemesis Incorporated was notorious and highly successful in their raiding. The country of Libertarian Governance, a remote sparsely populated Isolated continent surrounded by islands housed a number of secret bases and camps. After 20 years (1715 to 1735) of plunder the groups members organized a national charter establishing their new nation The Free Republic of Libertarian Governance.
During the 19th and 20th centuries the new government expanded its control over the entire continent and acquired a number of nearby island possessions. As a beacon of freedom and equality Libertarian Governance has experienced rapid population growth. The most traumatic experience in the nation's history was the Old States War (1771-1781), in which an alliance of formally plundered nations attempted to arrest Nemesis Incorporated members and their descendants while forcibly seizing the continent, resulting in the heavily armed population repelling the invaders in a hard fought guerrilla war. The economy is marked by rapid growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

Chemical and Biological Weapons:
The LG Government initially refused to confirm or deny the presence of chemical or biological weaponry. However, after several articles reported their ownership of such weapons, including a well sourced and documented article in the New Rome Centurian, evidence suggest a very large and well maintained stockpile of binary weapons and gene-spliced biotoxins.
According to the New Rome Centurion Libertarian Governance possess the following binary chemical and biological weapons:
VX2 : 4,000,000 tonnes - persistence of 240-720 hours in temperature of 21-32°C and 720-2160 hours in 4-16°C
Phosgene Oxime : 5,000,000 tonnes - persistence of 2-4 hours in temperature of 21-32°C and 3-6 hours in 4-16°C
Cyanogen chloride : 1,400,000 tonnes - degrades filters; persistence of .25-.5 hours in temperature of 21-32°C and .5-1 hours in 4-16°C
Recourser-10 : 5000 tonnes - largely on satellite delivery system and some bombs; a genetically enhanced version of small pox with botox gene; 28 day persistence
Ebola hemorrhagic fever : 2400 tonnes - aerosol delivery with Seahag warhead, Tigershark warhead and aircraft pods.
Space Based Systems:
Libertarian Governance maintains satellite based military communications, surveillance, GPS, anti-satellite and anti-ballistic missile systems. The nation ties most of these infrastructure into a system called the Reaper Strategic Defense Network. Reaper maintains large numbers of nuclear and biological weapons in geo synchronous orbit. The nation maintains the OS-3 space station. The OS-3 space station consists of 14 pressurized modules and an extensive integrated truss structure. Power is provided by 20 solar arrays mounted on the external truss. The station is maintained at an orbit between 278 km (173 mi) and 460 km (286 mi) altitude, and travels at an average speed of 27,743.8 km/h (17,239.2 mph). The station is used by Libertarian Governance largely for research and has a length of 51 m (167.3 ft) a width of 109 m (357.5 ft) and a height of 20 m (c. 66 ft) with a pressurized volume of 837 m3 (29,561 cu ft).
Libertarian Governance maintains heavy lift rockets as well as a fleet of semi-reusable space vehicle through its military. The heavy lift rockets are the HL-10 (38,000 kg mass to LEO and 24,000 kg mass to GTO) and the HL-9 (24,000 kg to LEO and 14,000 kg to GTO). Along with its heavy lift rockets Libertarian Governance operates a fleet of 8 semi-reusable shuttle craft through the LGDF. The shuttles have the ability to place 24,000 kg into LEO and 4000 kg into GTO. Additionally, there is a burgeoning private space transportation industry which uses the aforementioned equipment plus a wide variety of additional systems.
