The Unpretentious Republic of Allenstan is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.185 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, socially-minded individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. 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.
All-natural foods are becoming a major fad, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, child labor has been outlawed, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Allenstan's radio stations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 4th in the region and 71,987th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
