The Unpretentious Republic of Allenstan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.335 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wookieopolis. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Eminent domain has been abolished, the government is avowedly atheist, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Allenstan's national animal is the tarsier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Allenstan perun.
Allenstan is ranked 9th in the region and 3,077th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
