Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire and Commonwealth of Alamein is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Consul with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 19.257 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 Education, Defence, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hitchin. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alamein's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the lance.

Alamein is ranked 443rd in Europe and 95,377th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
