The Jewish Democratic Republic of Alkzine is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Michoel Lange with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.717 billion Alkzineans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ammun. The average income tax rate is 44.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Alkzinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,666 trillion Chroshens a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 155,462 Chroshens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, the Ammun Film Festival recently voted 'Alkzinean Getting Hit By Football' as best film, and banks now use correct pronouns when evicting people from their houses. Crime is totally unknown. Alkzine's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Alkzine is ranked 231,121^st in the world and 7,639^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -109.49 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
