The Island of Altruismia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by love with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.369 billion friends love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving altruistic economy, worth 319 trillion friendships a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 94,709 friendships, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, the nation's apology for those it has executed in the last year has come a little late for some, players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Altruismia has found 2 easter eggs), and the media seems excessively interested in what love is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altruismia's national animal is the friend, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altruismia is ranked 4,928^th in the world and 42^nd in Refugia for Safest, scoring 131.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
