The Republic of Alpasar is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 187 million Alpasarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 14.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Alpasarian economy, worth 8.49 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,379 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

You can't spell society without CIS, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Euros each year, genetic researchers have been expelled, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Alpasar's national animal is the Flamingo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Alpasar is ranked 226,061^st in the world and 1,174^th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
