The Rogue Nation of Alliestrum is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.087 billion Alliestrumians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Alliestrumian economy, worth a remarkable 2,461 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 270,866 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,213,457 per year while the poor average 37,433, a ratio of 32.4 to 1.

Fish with fish chips have become the new Alliestrumian food staple, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, and teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alliestrum's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alliestrum is ranked 63,475^th in the world and 3,235^th in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
