The Sultanate of Alalala Land is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alalala Bush with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.511 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jihad City. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alalala Land's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the oil pound.

Alalala Land is ranked 85th in Canada and 18,797th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
