Location: Alliance of Socialist States

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied States of United Alesia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.695 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, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United Alesia City. The average income tax rate is 74%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown. United Alesia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the alesian tornis.

United Alesia is ranked 10th in Alliance of Socialist States and 84,938th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -19 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
