Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The HellenicMacedonian Empire of Alexandros o Megas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.948 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 concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, euthanasia is illegal, cities are engulfed by smog, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Alexandros o Megas's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Drachma.

Alexandros o Megas is ranked 7th in Hellenic Civilization and 6,949th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
