The Republic of Altys74 is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Cat population. The hard-working population of 2.847 billion Altys74ians 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The Altys74ian economy, worth 129 trillion Iscles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,575 Iscles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altys74's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Altys74 is ranked 145,625^th in the world and 104^th in Islarabia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 98.6 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
