Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Imperial Republic of Alexiandra is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Lance Wydra with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 4.989 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lockbourne. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

Torture is illegal, all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, the government seizes all major gold finds, and the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alexiandra's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is whatever its citizens wish to believe, and its currency is the Pound.

Alexiandra is ranked 12th in Nova and 12,235th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
