Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Grand Roman Republic of Alogorthia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tiberius Marius Severus with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.44 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Defence and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Semper. The average income tax rate is 55%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism industries.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, Alogorthia successfully hosted the Tyrrhenia Olympics, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alogorthia's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Paganism, and its currency is the Coin.

Alogorthia is ranked 13th in Tyrrhenia and 24,204th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
