The Kingdom of --Aleutia-- is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by James I with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.642 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ancyra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and --Aleutia-- is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. --Aleutia--'s national animal is the Aleutian Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Aleutian Catholicism, and its currency is the Euro.

--Aleutia-- is ranked 3rd in European Union and 680th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
