The Colored Republic of Alcatrazin is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Penultimo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.52 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cirrus City. The average income tax rate is 93%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Automobile Manufacturing.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Alcatrazin with a very polite populace, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alcatrazin's national animal is the Python, its national religion is The First Christian Church of Alcatrazin, and its currency is the Alcatrat.

Alcatrazin is ranked 3rd in Alliance Of Armed Nations and 5,655th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 12 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
