Possible definitions for liberum
Liberace
U.S. pianist. Born to Polish and Italian immigrants in West Allis, Wis., he appeared as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at 16. He began giving concerts in flamboyant costumes with ornate pianos and candelabra, and though he occasionally performed with symphony orchestras, he built his career playing primarily popular music. Hugely successful, he hosted his own television variety series The Liberace Show (1952-55, 1969) and appeared in films such as Sincerely Yours (1955). In later years he performed frequently in Las Vegas. His death resulted from AIDS.
Liberia
Republic, W Africa. Area: 38,250 sq mi (99,067 sq km). Population (1997 est.): 2,602.000. Capital: Monrovia. Liberia's ethnic groups include the Americo-Liberians, descendants of the black freedmen who emigrated from the U.S. in the 19th cent.; and indigenous peoples, incl. the Mande, Kwa, and Mel. Languages: English (official), native languages. Religions: Christianity, Islam, traditional beliefs. Currency: Liberian dollar. Liberia has coastal lowlands extending 350 mi (560 km) along the Atlantic; farther inland are hills and low mountains. Roughly one-fifth of Liberia consists of tropical rain forest. Less than 4 percent of Liberia is considered arable, but the country has rich iron-ore reserves, which are a major source of exports. The principal cash crops are rubber, coffee, and cacao; the staple crops are rice and cassava. It is a republic with two legislative houses; its head of state and government is the president, assisted by the state minister for presidential affairs. Africa's oldest republic, Liberia was established on land bought from local tribes as a home for freed U.S. slaves under the Amer. Colonization Society, which founded a colony at Cape Mesurado in 1821. In 1822 Jehudi Ashmun, a Methodist minister, became the director of the settlement and Liberia's real founder. In 1824 it was named Liberia, and its main settlement was named Monrovia. Joseph Jenkins Roberts, Liberia's first nonwhite governor, proclaimed Liberian independence in 1847 and expanded its boundaries. Border disputes with the French and British lasted until 1892, when its boundaries were officially established. In 1980 a coup led by Gen. S. K. Doe marked the end of the Americo-Liberians' long political dominance over the indigenous Africans. A rebellion in 1989 escalated into a destructive civil war in the 1990s. A peace agreement was reached in 1996, and elections were held in 1997.
