The International Monarchy of Alegasias is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.984 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uru'Baean. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Atheists are heavily taxed, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alegasias's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Crown.

Alegasias is ranked 675th in Balder and 29,679th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 152 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
