The Uberness of Alderin is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.086 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Adultery has been made a capital offence, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alderin's national animal is the fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the lira.

Alderin is ranked 1st in The Vatican City and 43,634th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.553 Stalins.
