“The nation of Tanara is gone but her memory is eternal”

The People's Republic of Alversia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sammi Owens with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.221 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 100%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Alversia's radio stations, and Alversia has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alversia's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Sedar.

Alversia is ranked 2nd in the region and 46,602nd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
