Liberace:


Too easy!
That is SO WIERD!  Because that is the very image that comes to mind when I think of "police and military protection."

Liberty, broadly speaking, is the freedom to do as one pleases so long as one doesn't violate anyone else's right to do likewise.

Liberacy, as I understand it (which is not very well, as the term is so infrequently used as to not have a clear definition), is a system of government more commonly known as a night-watchman state, in which the government's sole function is to provide police and military protection and arbitrate disputes.

Break down the words as far as possible and cite any reason for difference if there even is difference.
